The following paragraphs describe in detail the differences of the Aspect Ratio being processed by the

TV:

Normal Mode

The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is preserved, so black bars are added to the left and right of the display image.

Movies in 4:3

Aspect Ratio may be referred to as pan-and-scan or full frame.

Zoom Mode

When watching a widescreen (1.78:1, 1.85:1, or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, the display image is zoomed proportionally to fill the width of the screen.

TV screen. The center of the image is not stretched.

Chapter 10 Warranty

ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON PARTS AND LABOR

Covers units purchased as new in United States and Puerto Rico Only

VlZlO provides a warranty to the original purchaser of its products against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year of non-commercial usage and ninety (90) days of commercial use.

If a VIZIO product is defective within the warranty period, VIZIO will either repair or replace the unit at its sole option and discretion.

To obtain warranty service, contact VIZIO Technical Support via email: [email protected]

or via phone at 877 MY VIZIO (877.698.4946) from 6:00AM to 9:00PM Monday through Friday and 8:00AM to

4:00PM Saturday and Sunday, Pacific Time, or visit www.VIZIO.com.

Proof of purchase in the form of a purchase receipt or copy thereof is required.

Parts and Labor

There will be no charge for parts or labor during the warranty period. Replacement parts and units may be new or recertified at VIZIO's option and sole discretion.

Replacement parts and units are warranted for the remaining portion of the original warranty or for ninety (90) days from warranty service or replacement, whichever is later.

Types of Service

Units 30" or larger will usually be serviced in-home. In-home service requires complete and easy access to the unit and does not include de-installation or re-installation of the product. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to send the unit to a VIZIO service center.

VIZIO will cover the transportation charges to and from the same customer location.

Units less than 30" must be sent to a VIZIO service center. VIZIO is not responsible for transportation costs to the service center, but VIZIO will cover return shipping to the customer.

PRE-AUTHORIZATION

IS REQUIRED BEFORE SENDING ANY UNIT IN FOR SERVICE.

Any returns to VIZIO's service centers must utilize either the original carton box and shipping material or a replacement box and material provided by VIZIO. VIZIO technical support will provide instructions for packing and shipping the unit to the VIZIO service center.

Limitations and Exclusions

VlZIO's one-year limited warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship.

Items not covered include but are not limited to cosmetic damage, normal wear and tear, misuse, signal issues, power surges, and damages from shipping, acts of God, any sort of customer misuse, installation, customer modifications, adjustments, and set-up issues. Units with unreadable or removed serial numbers, "image burn-in", and routine maintenance are not covered. This warranty does not cover products sold "AS IS",

"FACTORY RECERTIFIED", or by a non-authorized reseller.
