1.6 - Television Antenna Connection Protection

External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to the LCD 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.

Lzightning Protection

For added protection of the LCD TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or
unused for long periods of time, unplug the LCD 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.

1.10.2 - Insertion of Batteries in the Remote Control

Insert two AAA batteries into the remote control. Make sure that you match
the (+) and (-) symbols on the batteries with the (+) and (-) symbols inside the
battery compartment. Re-attach the battery cover.

Precautionary Tips for Inserting the Batteries:

• Only use the specified AAA batteries.

• Do not mix new and old batteries. This may result in cracking or

leakage that may pose a fire risk or lead to personal injury.

• Inserting the batteries incorrectly may result in cracking or leakage
that may pose a fire risk or lead to personal injury.

• Dispose of the batteries in accordance with local laws and
regulations.

• Keep the batteries away from children and pets.

1.10.3 - Remote Control Range

• Point the remote control at the remote control sensor to transmit the commands.

• Do not place any obstacles between the remote control and the receiver window.

• The effective range of the remote control is approximately 6 feet (2 meters) from the front

of the receiver window, 30º to the left and right, 20º up and down.

1.10.4 - Precautions for the VIZIO Remote Control

• Remote control should be kept dry and away from heat sources. Avoid humidity.

• If the display responds erratically to the remote control or does not respond at all, check

the batteries. If the batteries are low or exhausted, replace them with fresh batteries.

• When not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries.

• Do not take apart the batteries, heat them, or throw them into a fire.

• Do not subject the remote control to undue physical stress, such as striking or dropping it.

• Do not attempt to clean the remote control with a volatile solvent. Wipe it with a clean,

damp cloth.

Chapter 2 - Connecting Components

2.1 - Which Video Connection Should I Use?

The VIZIO L13e LCD TV has four different ways to connect your video equipment from a basic
one to the most advanced for digital displays.

Connection
Quality

Cable and Connector Description

OK

Basic

Good

Better

Coaxial RF. This is the only connection that has the audio
and the video in one cable. If you have an antenna or
cable, this is the only way you can connect it to the LCD
TV. If you have a VCR, you can connect your
antenna/cable to the VCR RF Input and connect the VCR
RF Output to this connector.

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

S-Video. 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.

Component. 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 this type of input.

4.1 - Maintenance

Important

1. Make sure that the power cable is removed from the socket before cleaning the
display.

2. Do not use volatile solvent (such as toluene, rosin and alcohol) to clean the display.
Such chemicals may damage the housing, screen glass and remote control, and
cause the paint to peel.

Cleaning the Housing and the Remote Control

1. Use a soft cotton cloth for cleaning.

2. If the housing or remote control is seriously contaminated, use a soft cloth moistened
with diluted neutral cleaner to clean the display. Wring water out of the cloth before
cleaning to prevent water from penetrating into the housing. Wipe the display with a
dry cloth after cleaning.

Cleaning the Screen

1. Use a soft cotton cloth to gently clean the screen.

2. The screen glass is very fragile. Do not scrape it with any sharp object. Do not press
or tap the screen to avoid cracking. When the screen is seriously contaminated, use
a soft cloth moistened with diluted neutral cleaner to clean the display. Wring water
out of the cloth before cleaning to prevent water from penetrating into the housing.
Wipe the display with a dry cloth after cleaning.

4.2 - Troubleshooting Guide

If the display fails or the performance changes dramatically, check the display in accordance with
the following instructions. Remember to check the peripherals to pinpoint the source of the
failure. If the display still fails to perform as expected, contact the dealer for assistance.

image on the screen.

Make sure the video cable supplied with the LCD display is

tightly secured to the video output port on the back of the

DVD player or VCR. If the other end of the video cable is not

attached permanently to the LCD display, tightly secure it to

the LCD display.

Adjust brightness and contrast.

Check Source settings.
The image on the screen has
incorrect or abnormal colors.

If any colors (red, green, or blue) are missing, check the

video cable (YCbCr) to make sure it is securely connected.
