The HD Sound Bar System is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits,
and misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent the HD Sound Bar System from being
damaged, the following rules should be observed for its installation, use, and maintenance.
Please Read the following safety instructions before operating the HD Sound Bar System. Keep
these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before
connecting other components to the HD Sound Bar System.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning the HD Sound Bar System. A damp cloth is sufficient for
cleaning. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner on the HD Sound Bar System. Do not use
abrasive cleaners.
• Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.
• When moving the HD Sound Bar System from an area of low temperature to an area of high
temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on the HD Sound Bar
System to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.
• A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between the HD Sound Bar System and any
heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install the HD Sound Bar
System close to smoke. Operating the HD Sound Bar System 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 the HD Sound Bar System and to protect it from overheating, be sure these
openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place the HD Sound Bar System in a bookcase or
cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Never push any object into the slots and openings on the HD Sound Bar System enclosure. Do
not place any objects on the top of the HD Sound Bar System. Doing so could short circuit parts
causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the HD Sound Bar System.
• The HD Sound Bar System should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on
the label on the AC/DC Adapters. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home,
consult your dealer or local power company.
• Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your HD Sound Bar System. Any other voltage
than the specified voltage may cause fire or electric shock
• The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified. For
more information, contact your dealer.
• The HD Sound Bar System AC/DC Adapters are 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 the HD Sound Bar System safely.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
• When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into the HD Sound Bar System. 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 the HD Sound Bar System 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 HD Sound Bar System.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• The wall socket should be located near the HD Sound Bar System and be easily accessible.

• Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric shock, avoid handling the power
cord during electrical storms.
• Unplug the HD Sound Bar System during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long
periods of time. This will protect the HD Sound Bar System from damage due to power surges.
• Do not attempt to repair or service HD Sound Bar System yourself. Opening or removing the front
cover may expose you to high voltages, electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required,
contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Keep the HD Sound Bar System away from moisture. Do not expose the HD Sound Bar System
to rain or moisture. If water penetrates into the HD Sound Bar System, unplug the power cord and
contact your dealer. Continuous use in this case may result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use the HD Sound Bar System if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes
apparent, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair the HD
Sound Bar System yourself.
• Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If the HD Sound Bar System is dropped and the
housing is damaged, the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord
immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of the HD Sound Bar System may
cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not install the HD Sound Bar System in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating
the HD Sound Bar System in environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause fire or
electric shock.
• Ensure that the power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving the HD Sound
Bar System.
• When unplugging the HD Sound Bar System, hold the power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the
power cord may damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When the HD
Sound Bar System will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.
• Insert the battery in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarity may cause the battery to leak
which can damage the remote control or injure the operator.
• If any of the following occurs, contact the dealer:
o The power cord fails or frays.
o Liquid sprays or any object drops into your HD Sound Bar System.
o HD Sound Bar System is exposed to rain or other moisture.
o HD Sound Bar System is dropped or damaged in any way.
o The performance of the HD Sound Bar System changes substantially.

SRS TruVolume™
SRS TruVolume™ is an advanced, intelligent volume control solution that delivers a remarkable TV
viewing experience by eliminating irritating fluctuations in volume all too common in today’s television
broadcasts. To ensure the technology functions properly, enable it by pressing the ‘TVOL’ button on the
remote control. Then set the volume to the desired listening level. SRS TruVolume will do the rest.
TruVolume will maintain a constant volume level regardless of the device(s) connected to the Sound Bar.
Note: SRS TruVolume does have a nominal effect on dynamic range—unperceivable to most listeners.
However, it can be disengaged for audio purists or applications where volume fluctuations are welcomed.

SRS TruSurround HD™ is the latest generation from the TruSurround® family. TruSurround was
invented to ensure all listeners would be able to experience “surround sound.” SRS TruSurround HD
builds upon its patented predecessor by providing clear dialog, crisp highs and explosive lows. Since
many of today’s broadcasts are encoded in 5.1 surround sound, TruSurround HD enables listeners to
experience up to 5.1 channels of audio over 2 channels or in this case 2.1 channels. Simply engage the
technology by pressing the ‘TSHD’ button on the remote and TruSurround HD will provide a realistic,
immersive surround sound experience. No need to purchase extra speakers or run wires around the
home. By merely connecting the Sound Bar to the chosen audio source via composite cables or a digital
TOSlink® cable allows the listener to experience sound as it was meant to be heard.

Error Detection
/ Corrective Action
/ Corrective Action/ Corrective Action
/ Corrective Action
If an unsupported rate or sample depth is detected (via the Optical Input), or an overcurrent or thermal
shutdown occurs, the LED’s flash certain error codes. An important example that if an AC3 (not PCM)
input stream(from a DVD player in this instance) is sent to the Optical input, the HD Sound Bar System
will mute the audio output and flash the error pattern associated with this on the LED’s.
For the error codes, the information is relative to the position in the volume bar section of the display.
(LED positions as viewed from the front):
A B C D E F G
The following is a description of the LED error codes:
VIZIO VSB210WS User Manual
22
www.VIZIO.com
A = SPDIF compressed format detected.
B = SPDIF rate unsupported.
C = Overcurrent error occurred.
D = Thermal shutdown occurred.
The other indicators are not currently used for error indication. When an error occurs, the volume strip
goes on solid except that the active error condition is flashing.
Corrective Action
- If Error A, SPDIF compressed format detected error occurs, configure the DVD player (or audio source
device) audio output format setting to PCM or PCM stream. Otherwise, use the Analog RCA inputs from
the audio source to the Sound Bar without configuration of the audio source device.
- If Error B, an unsupported sample rate is detected on the Optical (SPDIF) input, configure the ‘audio
sample rate of the audio source device to be either 44.1 KHz or preferably 48KHz.
- If Error C, Overcurrent detection is indicated, reduce the volume setting of the Speaker Bar and
Subwoofer temporarily, and turn the unit off for a short period and back on to reset the circuitry. If this
indication continues to occur, then reduce the volume level for the particular source content being played.
- If Error D, Thermal shutdown, is indicated, turn off the Speaker Bar and verify the ventilation slots in the
bar are clear, the bar has proper ventilation and is not being operated in an environment that is too hot. If
these conditions exist, reduce the volume level for the particular source content being played.
- An error condition that is not detected or indicated by the LED error indications is distortion of audio.
The Speaker Bar is designed for standard line-in level input signals which are a MAXIMUM 2 Volt RMS.
The Speaker Bar is not intended to be connected to the output of an amplified audio source such as a
Home Theater speaker output or MP3 Player headphone jack. Doing so may damage the Speaker Bar.
