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.

Precautionary Tips for Inserting the Batteries:
• Only use the specified AA 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.

VIZIO L30 User Guide
• 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 32 feet (10 meters) from the

Chapter 2 - Connecting Components
2.1 - Which Video Connection Should I Use?
The VIZIO L30 LCD TV has five different ways to connect your video equipment from a basic one to the most advanced for digital displays.
Connection
Cable and Connector Description
Quality
OK
Basic
Good
Better
Best
Coaxial RF. This is the only connection that has the audio and the video in one cable. If you have an antenna, 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.
Digital Video (DVI). All of the picture information is received digitally coded and it does not convert the signal from digital to analog. The other inputs are converted from analog to digital by the LCD TV. Movies are digitally encoded on DVD’s and so by using a component such as the BRAVO D2 DVI Enabled DVD Player from V, Inc. with a DVI output it will produce the ultimate picture performance.
