Scanning for TV Channels
The TV may need to scan for channels before it can display programs and their
associated information. A channel scan is required for free over-the-air channels
(using an antenna) and cable channels from an out-of-the-wall connection (without a
cable box). Moving the TV to an area with different channels requires the TV to scan
for channels again.
To perform an Auto Channel Scan:
Find Channels
Menu> TV Channels > Find

watch comfortably. There may also be some channels you do not want to view. You
can remove these channels from the TV’s memory with the Skip Channel feature.
WARNING: Channels that have been removed with the Skip
Channel feature can still be viewed if the channel is entered using
the number pad.
If you wish to completely block a channgel from being viewed, use
see Locking and Unlocking Channels on page 18.

Audio Language feature only works when the program being
viewed is being broadcast with Secondary Audio Programming.
• Stereo — More than one speaker channel is being used. Sounds may
be dispersed through different speakers depending on how the audio is
programmed.
• SAP (Secondary Audio Program) — Typically used for audio in a different
language other than the native one used in the program.
• Mono — All speakers are producing the same sound; there is no distinction
between left or right sounds.

Viewing Data to analytics companies, media companies, advertisers, ad agencies,
and other ad tech companies who measure ad effectiveness or aid personalization of
ads. Our authorized cloud service providers may also store this data on and solely on
our behalf, and for no other purposes.
WHAT DO WE DO WITH VIEWING DATA?
VIZIO or its authorized data partners may combine Viewing Data with household
demographic data, or other data about your digital actions, like smartphone location,
web histories or offline purchases, in order to determine the effectiveness of a
particular ad, or choose which ads are likely to be useful or timely, including during
broadcast, cable, satellite, or internet based television programming. VIZIO and its
authorized data partners also use the information to generate summary analysis and
reports of how users engage with content on their TVs and other devices.
WHAT ELSE DOES VIEWING DATA SHARING MEAN FOR YOU?
Viewing Data is also used to help content publishers, broadcasters or content
distribution services create or recommend more relevant entertainment based
on summary insights. For example, if devices sharing your IP address suggest an
interest in music, fitness, or sports related topics, advertisers might deliver tailored
ads to this display unit or other devices associated with your IP address.
You can easily turn this feature On or Off in the ADMIN & PRIVACY menu. If you have
trouble enabling or disabling Viewing Data, please contact VIZIO Customer Support
