mportant Safety nstructions

Your HDTV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and misuse
may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your HDTV from being damaged, the following

instructions should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your HDTV. Read
the following safety instructions before operating your HDTV. 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 your HDTV.

Unplug the power cord before cleaning your HDTV. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning your
HDTV. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning your HDTV. Do not use abrasive

cleaners.
Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.

When moving your HDTV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature,
condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your HDTV to avoid causing fire,

electric shock, or component damage.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by manufacturer or sold with your
HDTV. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/HDTV combination to avoid injury

from tip-over. Do not place your HDTV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If your HDTV falls, it
can injure a person and cause serious damage to your HDTV. Use only a cart or stand

recommended by the manufacturer or sold with your HDTV.
A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between your HDTV and any heat source, such
as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your HDTV close to smoke. Operating

your HDTV 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 your HDTV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are
not blocked or covered. Do not place your HDTV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper

ventilation is provided.
Never push any object into the slots and openings on your HDTV cabinet. Do not place any
objects on the top of your HDTV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock.

Never spill liquids on your HDTV.
Your HDTV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power
company.
Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your HDTV. This may compromise the integrity of the

display. The manufacturer's warranty does not cover user abuse or improper installations.
The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified. For
more information, contact your dealer.
Your HDTV is 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 your HDTV safely. Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your
HDTV. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

Television Antenna Connection Protection
E×tema_ Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be connected to the 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 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.

Remember, the screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to earth in the building
installation.

FCC Bulletin for New TV Owners

The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting will be complete on June 12, 2009, but your local
television stations may switch sooner. After the switch, analog-only television sets that receive TV

programming through an antenna will need a converter box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch
your local stations to find out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to digital-
only broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before to receive low power,

Class A or translator television stations and with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles,
VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.

The following paragraphs describe in detail the differences of the Aspect Ratio being processed by the
TV:

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.

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 of the screen.

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.

Stretch Mode

When watching a widescreen program (1.78:1 source) with black
bars on the sides, the display image will stretch to fill the TV

screen. People will appear wider than they really are. 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. This
mode is available only when watching a widescreen program.

Chapter 9 Maintenance and TroubJeshooting

C eaning the TV and Remote Contro

1. Remove the power adapter cable from the TV.

2. Use a soft cloth moistened with diluted neutral cleaner to clean the TV and remote control. VlZlO
recommends using an HDTV cleaning solution which can be purchased at any major retailer.

3. Wring liquid out of the cloth before cleaning to prevent water from penetrating into the housing.

4. Wipe the TV and remote control with a dry cloth after cleaning.

• Do not use volatile solvent (such as toluene, rosin and alcohol). Such chemicals may damage the

housing, screen glass, and remote control, and cause labeling to peel.

• The screen glass is very fragile. Do not scrape it with any sharp object.

• Do not press or tap the screen to avoid cracking.

Troubleshooting Guide

If the TV 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

Tips for High-Definition Users.

Tips for Letterbox Content

Users.

Your HDTV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision
technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your HDTV may not display.

Pixel defects within industry specifications are inherent to this type of product
and do not constitute a defective product.

• When your HDTV's digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the
signal is up-converted (increased) to match your TV's display capabilities. Up-

converting can cause noise or trash.

• If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low.

Make sure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move the antenna
around the room or close to a window (in the case of indoor antenna use).

• Your HDTV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content.

• Best image quality wilt be achieved by HDMI. The next best is Component,
followed by Composite.

• Due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image distortions

can occur.

Some Letterboxed (or "Widescreen") versions of DVD movies are formatted for
standard 4:3 Televisions. Your HDTV has the ability to expand this content so
the entire screen is filled at the expense of image accuracy.

Chapter 11 Warranty

ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON PARTS AND LABOR

Covers units purchased as new in United States and Puerto Rico Only

VlZlO provides a warranty to the original purchaser of its products against defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of one year of non-commercial usage and ninety (90) days of commercial use.

If a VlZlO product is defective within the warranty period, VlZlO will either repair or replace the unit at its
sole option and discretion.

To obtain warranty service, contact VlZlO Technical Support via email: [e-mail] or via

packing and shipping the unit to the VlZlO service center.

Limitations and Exclusions
VlZlO's one-year limited warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship. Items not covered

include but are not limited to cosmetic damage, normal wear and tear, misuse, signal issues, power
surges, and damages from shipping, acts of God, any sort of customer misuse, installation, customer
modifications, adjustments, and set-up issues. Units with unreadable or removed serial numbers, "image
