TELEVISION ANTENNA CONNECTION 
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, ANSI/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.
Ground Clamp Antenna Lead In Wire

(NEC Section 810-20)
Grounding Conductors 
(NEC Section 810-21)
Ground Clamps
Power Service Grounding Electrode System 
(NEC ART 250, part H)
Electric Service Equipment
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.

VIZIO LED HDTV
INSTALLING THE TV
After removing the TV from the box and inspecting the package 
contents you can begin installing the TV. Your TV can be installed 
in two ways:
•  On a flat surface, using the included stand
•  On a wall, using a VESA-standard wall mount (not 
included)
Installing the TV Stand
Your TV includes a stand designed to support the weight of the 
TV and keep it from falling over. However, the TV can still fall over if:
•  It is placed on an uneven, unstable, or non-level surface
•  It is pushed, pulled, or otherwise improperly moved
•  If an earthquake occurs and the TV is not properly 
secured.

Installing the TV on a Wall
To mount your TV on a wall, you will need a wall mount. Consult 
the information below to find the appropriate mount for your TV 
model:
Installing a TV on a wall requires lifting. To prevent 
injury or damage to the TV, ask someone to help you.
D39h-C0
Screw Size: M4
Hole Pattern: 100 mm (V) x 100 mm (H)
Weight w/o 
Stand: 13.45 lbs
Be sure the mount you choose is capable of supporting the 
weight of the TV. After you have determined that you have the 
correct mount for your TV, you can begin the installation.
To install your TV on a wall:
1.  Disconnect any cables connected to your TV.
2.  Place the TV face-down on a clean, flat, stable surface. 
Be sure the surface is clear of debris that can scratch or 
damage the TV.
3.  Remove the base by loosening and removing the screws.
4.  Attach your TV and wall mount to the wall, carefully following 
the instructions that came with your mount. 
Use only with a UL-listed wall mount bracket rated for the 
weight/load of this TV.
For some wall mounts, you may want to use cables 
with right-angle connectors. This allows the TV to rest 
closer to the wall.

CHANGING THE INPUT SOURCE
External devices such as DVD players, Blu-ray Players, and 
video game consoles can be connected to your TV. To use one 
of these devices with your TV, you must first change the input 
source using the Input menu.
To change the input source:
1.  Press the INPUT button on 
the remote. The Input menu is 
displayed.
2.  Use the Up/Down Arrow 
buttons or the INPUT button 
on the remote to highlight the 
input you wish to view and 
press OK. The selected input is 
displayed. 
You can change the input names that appear on the 
Input menu to make your devices easy to recognize. 
See 
Renaming Devices on the Input Menu
 on page 
39 for more information.
Note: Inputs may vary by TV.
CHANGING THE SCREEN ASPECT RATIO
The TV can display images in five different modes: Normal, Stretch, 
Panoramic, Wide, and Zoom. Each mode displays the picture 
differently.
To change the screen aspect ratio:
1.  Press the WIDE button on the 
remote.
2.  Use the Arrow buttons to 
highlight the aspect ratio you 
wish to view and press OK.
•  Normal preserves the content’s 
original aspect ratio. Since the 
4:3 aspect ratio is not large 
enough to fill the TV’s screen, 
black bars are added to the left 
and right of the display image.
•  Stretch expands the display image to fill the screen. 
Images may appear wider than intended. If you are 
watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black 
bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display 
image. This option is only available when the TV is 
displaying a 720p/1080i source.
•  Panoramic expands the display image to fill the screen. 
Images may appear wider than intended. If you are 
watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black 
bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display 
image. This option is only available when the TV is 
displaying a 480i/480p source.
•  Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges 
of the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the 
display image may appear distorted. If the program 
is already formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or 
2.35:1), then black bars will appear on the top and 
bottom of the display image.
•  Zoom expands images with black bars to fit the screen.

securely to the TV and move the antenna around the 
room or close to a window for the best signal.

The buttons on the remote aren’t working.
•  The Red and Yellow hot key buttons below the V button 
do not operate with this model.
•  Ensure you are only pressing one button at a time.
•  Point the remote directly at the TV when pressing a 
button.
•  Replace the remote batteries with new ones. See

 on page 11
.
The image quality is not good.
•  For the best image quality, view high-definition 
programs using digital sources. Connect your devices 
with HDMI cables.
•  If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the 
channel may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected 
securely to the TV and move the antenna around the 
room or close to a window for the best signal. 
The picture is distorted.
•  Nearby electrical devices may be interfering with the 
TV. Separate the TV from electrical appliances, cars, or 
fluorescent lights.
•  Ensure all cables are securely attached. 
The display image does not cover the entire screen.
•  If you are using TV, AV, or Component with 480i input, 
press the WIDE button on the remote to change the 
screen mode. 
The TV has pixels (dots) that are always dark or always lit.
•  Your HDTV is precision-manufactured using an extremely 
high level of technology. However, sometimes pixels may 
not display correctly. These types of occurrences are 
inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a 
defective product.  
I see “noise” or static on the screen.
•  When your TV’s digital capabilities exceed a 
digital broadcast signal, the signal is up-converted 
(improved) to match your TV’s display capabilities. This 
up-converting can sometimes cause irregularities in the 
image.
•  If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the 
channel may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected 
securely to the TV and move the antenna around the 
room or close to a window for the best signal. 
When I change input source, the display image changes size.
•  The TV remembers the viewing mode on each input 
source. If the viewing mode on the new input source 
differs from the one on the input source you switch from, 
the difference may be noticeable.
