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.

Installation Preparation

Please read this user manual carefully before installing your VIZIO HDTV.
The power consumption of the TV is about 420W; please use the power cord designated for TV. When

an extension cord is required, use one with the correct power rating. The cord must be grounded and the
grounding feature must not be defeated.

The TV should be installed on a flat surface to avoid tipping. For proper ventilation, you must allow space
between the back of the TV and the wall. If you would like to mount your TV on the wall, please see
below ‘Preparing Your LCD HDTV for Wall Mounting’ for additional information. Avoid installing the TV in
places with high humidity, dust or smoke so as not to shorten the service life of the electronic components.

Install the TV in landscape orientation; any 90˚ clockwise or counter-clockwise installation may induce
poor ventilation and excessive component damage.

VIZIO offers professional installation services. Please contact VIZIO for more information on these
services at 888-VIZIOCE (888-849-4623) or www.vizio.com

.

Attaching the Safety Strap

For when the GV52L FHDTV10A is not mounted on the wall with a Wall Mount, a Safety Strap has been
included to attach the HDTV to the wall to reduce the chance of the HDTV being pulled over. The Safety
Strap should be used with common sense practice such as ensuring that children (or adults) do not climb
up, grabbing the top of the HDTV and pulling it onto themselves.

1. Fix one end of the strap to the wall. If you have a drywall
finish it is preferable to fix it to a stud, using a washer
underneath the screw head. If you have a solid wall you
should use a lag bolt, again using a washer under the nut.

2. Fix the other end of the Safety
Strap to one of the upper wall
mounting holes on the back of
the HDTV, using a washer
under the screw head.

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 1/2 - 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.

S-Video (AV1) - The video signal is separated into
two signals, one containing the black-and-white
information and the other containing the color
information. Separating the color in this way avoids
‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black and
white lines are erroneously displayed in color. It also
enables text to be displayed more sharply.

AV2 (Composite) - The complete video signal is
carried through this single pin connector. This is the
most commonly used video connection.

4.18 Understanding Viewing Modes

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. Standard TV broadcasts are
displayed with a 4:3 Aspect Ratio. Movies in 4:3 Aspect Ratio may be referred
to as pan-and-scan or full frame. These movies were originally filmed in 16:9
(widescreen), and then modified to fit a traditional TV screen (4:3).

Wide Mode
When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame movie in this mode,

the display image is stretched proportionately to fill the TV screen.
When watching a widescreen (1.78:1 source) program or movie, the

display image fills the TV screen. If you are watching a widescreen
(1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, there will still be black
bars at the top and bottom.

When watching a standard definition 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source)
the picture will fill the screen but will be stretched horizontally; people
will look fatter than they are.

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. The top and bottom are cut off to remove most of
the source material’s black bars. This mode is good for programs or
movies with sub-titles.

Panoramic Mode
When watching a standard broadcast or full frame movie in this mode,

the 4:3 Aspect Ratio (1.33:1 source) display image is stretched
horizontally on the left and right sides to fill the TV screen. The center
of the image is not stretched.

Note: Viewing modes are saved based on input. For example, you lasted watched a DVD in widescreen
mode and then watched TV in standard mode. When you switch back to DVD input, the viewing mode
will return to widescreen.

4.18.2 Using PIP/POP Feature

When using PIP/POP mode, the following screens will appear depending on the type of signal input being
used:

TV refers to the input commonly called RF (coaxial)
connector. It carries audio and video through a
single cable and connector.

AV refers to the inputs commonly called RCA
(composite cables) connectors, on this TV set
there are two inputs, AV1 and AV2; one (AV1)
of which has what is called S-Video connector
besides the RCA connector. The image signal
put through S-Video cable will take priority when
connected to this input. Make sure to leave the
audio (red and white) cables in place since only
the video or image is carried through this cable.

Version 8/10/2007 60

www.VIZIO.com

VIZIO GV52L FHDTV10A User Manual

Component refers to the inputs commonly labeled
and known as Y (Green color coded connector) Pb/Cb
(Blue color coded connector) Pr/Cr (Red color coded
connector). Even thought, these cables have what is
commonly called RCA connectors at the ends; they
will be easily identified since they are color coded Red,
Green and Blue. There are two sets of component
inputs in your TV set; labeled Component1 and
Component2. Be aware that these cables inputs will
require an extra set of audio (red and white) cables to
complement the video or image signal carried through
these three (red, green and blue) cables. Often these
inputs are mistakenly referred to by their colors (red,
green and blue) which technically do not have any

correlation to the functionality of these inputs.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) refers
to the inputs (HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3 and HDMI4)
through which a high definition (audio and video
combined) signal is transmitted using a single
cable. Your TV comes equipped with four HDMI
inputs, one of which will allow the user to input a
signal out of a DVI (Digital Video Interface) source
into the TV set. Since DVI is a video only type of
signal, a set of audio (red and white) cables is
needed to complement the picture.

RGB most commonly known as VGA (due to the type
of connector and adopted from the beginning of the
personal computer industry jargon) connection; VGA
(Video Graphics Adapter) is mainly designed to have
a computer signal fed into the TV set through this
input (the name of the connector itself, is DB15; and
it has been standardized by computer manufacturers).
As you can deduce, this signal will require a separate
audio, and your TV set comes with a 1/8” stereo jack
to connect the audio signal out of the computer to the
TV set.

The above five pictures correspond to the five different types of inputs which come built into this TV set.
The brief descriptions of these pictures would allow you to have an idea of what kind of audio/video
equipment or signal sources could be fed into your TV set and the chart on page 58 gives you the
different combinations to use this feature. Enjoy it !!!

6.2 Glossary – Standard Definitions

Analog TV: Today’s TV system using radio frequency waves to transmit and display pictures and sound.
Aspect Ratio (4x3): Traditional TV “aspect ratio”, that is, the screen’s width as compared to its height.

For example, a “32 inch TV screen” would be 25 inches wide and 19 inches tall.
Aspect Ratio (16x9): “Wide screen TV” aspect ratio which is more like a movie screen than a traditional

TV. For example, a “32 inch TV screen” would be 28 inches wide and 16 inches tall.
Digital TV (DTV): Television delivered and displayed using radio frequency waves that contain

information that is digitally encoded for improved quality and efficiency.
Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV): A better digital television transmission than SDTV with at least 480P,

in a 16x9 or 4x3 display and Dolby digital surround sound. 480P is the quality used by most DVD players.
EDTV provides 300-400,000 pixels.

HDTV Monitor (sometimes called HDTV Ready): A set that can display HDTV programming if you have
a separate HDTV tuner, HD Cable Set-Top Box or HD Satellite Set-Top-Box Receiver.

HDTV Tuner (also decoder, receiver, set-top box): A device capable of receiving and outputting HDTV
signals for display. It may be stand-alone or integrated in the set.

High-Definition Television (HDTV): The best quality picture, wide screen (16x9) display with at least
720 progressively scanned lines (720P) or 1080 interlaced lines (1080i) and Dolby digital surround sound.
HDTV provides 900,000-2.1 million pixels.

Integrated HDTV: An HDTV that has the digital tuner built into the set. It does not need a separate set­top box to receive over-the-air DTV signals.

Interlace Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the odd lines first, then
filling the in the even lines (this happens instantaneously).

Plug-and-Play or Digital Cable Ready: A DTV or other device for digital cable consumers that plugs
directly into the cable jack and does not require a separate set-top box. Plug-and-Play TV owners must
obtain a CableCARD from their cable company in order to view scrambled programming services.

Progressive Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the lines consecutively
(progressively).

Standard Definition TV (SDTV): Basic digital television transmission that may be displayed with fewer
than 480 progressively scanned lines (480P) in 16 x 9 or 4 x 3 format. 480 interlaced (480i) is the quality
of today’s analog TV system.

Source: Buying a Digital Television, CEA, HDTV Guide, 2005

Note: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)
and the Consumer Electronics Retailers Coalition (CERC) have made a new tip sheet available for digital
television (DTV) retailers to reproduce and distribute to consumers on the sales floor. The file may be
downloaded online at www.dtv.gov
is making available to consumers interested in learning more about the analog to digital transition.
