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.

Lightning 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.

Chapter 2 - Connecting Components

2.1 - Which Video Connection Should I Use?

The VIZIO L20 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 progressive scan DVD
players and HDTV formats.
