To prevent your HDTV from being damaged, the following rules should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your HDTV. Read the following safety instructions before operating your HDTV. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference. Warning: • 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.

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 three 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. • The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated, dangerous voltage within the inside of your HDTV that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. • The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and servicing instructions in the literature accompanying your HDTV.

VIZIO M421VT User Manual Version 8/11/2010 5 www.VIZIO.com Advisory of the DTV Transition 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 digital-only 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.

VIZIO M421VT User Manual Version 8/11/2010 23 www.VIZIO.com Chapter 5 Connecting Equipment Which Video Connection Should I Use? You have six options for connecting your video equipment box to your HDTV from a basic connection to the most advanced for digital displays. Based on your Home Theater configuration, you can decide which option is the right one for you. Connection Quality (type) Connector Description Best (digital) HDMI delivers the best image quality of any of the cable types available and it’s all done over one cable. You get a great picture and cut down on your cable clutter. HDMI provides digital quality and amazing sound so if your TV has HDMI, this is the connection type you should be using. Best (digital) - - - - - - - - - - - Good (analog) Connect your antenna or coaxial cable to watch TV programming. This cable usually comes from your Cable box or right out of the wall. Best (analog) The RGB (VGA) port allows you to connect your computer so you can use the TV as your monitor. Better (analog) Component consists of three cables for transmitting video and two cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. Component video provides a sharper image than Composite video and should be used instead of Composite when possible. However, because it is still an analog connection, it won’t provide the highest quality video and audio that HDMI can produce. Good (analog) Composite consists of one yellow cable for transmitting video and two cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. It is capable of transmitting stereo sound and standard definition video (480i). While it provides a good image, it has lower image quality than HDMI or Component. So try to use one of those connections first. Note: You can use your HDTV Component input to accept A/V signal (Composite) from a source with A/V out, please plug your video signal (yellow connector) into the Component input (green connector) and match up the audio connectors (R and L) for the sound. Expect to see a black/white video in the Component input, if it is selected by accident. Note: To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable. This cable is available in 6, 8, and 12 foot lengths. Visit www.vizio.com or call 1-888-VIZIOCE (1-888-849-4623) for details.

If the contrast is too low the picture will look washed out and if the contrast is too high you will not be able to see any detail in the bright parts of a picture. Color Color adjusts the amount of color in the picture. Tint The tint adjusts the hue of the picture. The easiest way to set tint is to look at flesh tones and adjust for a realistic appearance. In most cases, the default middle position is correct. If people’s faces look too orange try reducing the level of color first. Sharpness The sharpness adjustment adjusts the sharpness of the edges of elements in the picture. It does not produce detail that otherwise does not exist.
