mportant Safety nstructions

Your HDTV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your HDTV from being damaged, the following instructions should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your HDTV. Read the following safety instructions place for future reference.

before operating your HDTV. Keep these instructions in a safe

To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other components to your HDTV.

Unplug the power cord before cleaning your HDTV. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning your

HDTV. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning your HDTV. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.

When moving your HDTV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your HDTV to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by manufacturer or sold with your

HDTV. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/HDTV combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Do not place your HDTV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If your HDTV falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to your HDTV. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with your HDTV.

A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between your HDTV and any heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your HDTV close to smoke. Operating your HDTV close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or electric shock.

Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of your HDTV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your HDTV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

Never push any object into the slots and openings on your HDTV cabinet. Do not place any objects on the top of your HDTV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock.

Never spill liquids on your HDTV.

Your HDTV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your HDTV. This may compromise the integrity of the display. The manufacturer's warranty does not cover user abuse or improper installations.

The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified. For more information, contact your dealer.

Your HDTV is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug (a plug with a third grounding pin). This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-pronged, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground your HDTV safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.

When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your

HDTV. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

Television Antenna Connection

E×tema[ Television Antenna Grounding

Protection

If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be connected to the TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, AN SI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.

.........................................

Lightning Protection

For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the

TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.

Power Lines

_,_._._

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such power lines or circuits.

Remember,

the screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to earth in the building

installation.

FCC Bulletin for New TV Owners

The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting will be complete on June 12, 2009, but your local television stations may switch sooner.

After the switch, analog-only television sets that receive TV programming through an antenna will need a converter box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch your local stations to find out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to digitalonly broadcasting.

Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before to receive low power,

Class A or translator television stations and with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles,

VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.

If your cable or satellite remote uses a 5-digit code (like most Direct TV units), first try

11758 and then, if that does not work, 10178. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 4-digit code, try 1758 and then 0178 as an alternative. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 3-digit code (EchoStar or Dish Network for example), use code 627.

C eaning the Housing and Remote Contro

2.

If the housing or remote control is seriously contaminated, use a soft cloth moistened with diluted neutral cleaner to clean the display.

Wring water out of the cloth before cleaning to prevent water from penetrating into the housing.

Wipe the display with a dry cloth after cleaning.



Chapter 3 Connecting Equipment

HDMI (High-Definition

Multimedia Interface). It is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, alldigital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box,

DVD player, or AN receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), over a single cable.

DTV Coaxial RF.

When used for MPEG2 encoded bit streams from ATSC broadcast programming, this input takes advantage of the High Definition content.

TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard

NTSC TV using antenna or cable.

RGB PC (VGA). This video input has separate red, green and blue color components.

The signal carries horizontal and vertical sync information on the green signal.

This is most commonly used for PC input.

Component.

The video signal is separated into three signals, one containing the black-and-white information and the other two containing the color information.

This enhancement over S-Video takes advantage of the superior picture provided by progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.

Composite.

The complete video signal is carried through this single pin connector.

Smooth Motion tn'

This feature suppresses motion judder. Judder is often observed as a 'stuttering" of the image when the camera pans across a scene, or there is horizontal motion in the scene. Film is typically shot at 24 frames per second. Any time that film is displayed at a frame rate that is not an even multiple of 24, judder will result. For presentation on a TV, film goes through a process and comes out at frame-rate of 30 or 60, which are those used in TV.

Smooth Motion Demo

This option splits the screen in half, displaying the picture without Smooth Motion processing on the left half of the screen, and with Smooth Motion processing on the right half of the screen. This allows you to determine the best results for your settings. Press the EXIT key to exit demo.

Chapter 8 Maintenance

and Troubleshooting

Cleaning the TV and Remote ControJ

1.

Remove the TV power cable from the wall oulet.

2.

Use a soft cloth moistened with diluted neutral cleaner to clean the TV and remote control. VlZIO recommends using an HDTV cleaning solution which can be purchased at any major retailer.

3.

Wring liquid out of the cloth before cleaning to prevent water from penetrating into the housing.

4.

Wipe the TV and remote control with a dry cloth after cleaning.

• Do not use volatile solvent (such as toluene, rosin and alcohol). Such chemicals may damage the housing, screen glass, and remote control, and cause labeling to peel.

• The screen glass is very fragile. Do not scrape it with any sharp object.

• Do not press or tap the screen to avoid cracking.

Troubleshooting Guide

If the TV fails or the performance changes dramatically, check the display in accordance with the following instructions.
