1 Introduction
Features
• Huge 56-inch screen.
• HDTV 16:9 Aspect Ratio.
• Only 18.9 inches / 480 mm deep.
• 75.9 lbs/34.5kg light.
• Bright flicker free picture.
• 480P, 720P, 1080I and HDTV signal compatibility.
• 480i support for old NTSC television.
• 640x480 VGA, 800x600 SVGA, 1024x768 XGA computer signal compatibility.
• When displaying film-based media the TV automatically converts the content using 2:3 Pull
Down to minimize motion artifacts to produce a stunning picture.
• Uses DCDi™ Motion Adaptive Deinterlacing for state-of-the-art conversion of interlaced (NTSC or 1080i HD) to progressive scan.
• DVI input with HDCP for the best display of Digital Video from components such as the VINC award winning Bravo Multi-Media Player that is recognized as providing the best picture from DVD and CD.
• High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) will be used for HD Programs and Movies and the HDTV needs this feature to be able to display the picture.
• Two HD Component Video inputs automatically synchronize to the input.
• Compatible with HDTV from an external HDTV box with DVI, RGB or Component Video
outputs.
• Picture-In-Picture (PIP) modes allow simultaneous display of multiple programs.
• Digital Zoom to make the picture fill the screen. The 16:9 aspect of HDTV translates to a ratio
of 1.77 but widescreen movies are filmed at a ratio of 2.35 and this is the reason there are still black bars at the top and bottom of the HDTV screen when playing widescreen DVD’s. Using Digital Zoom can eliminate these black bars although the edges of the picture will be lost.

Important Safeguards
• Read all the Safety Instructions and the User Manual before using the DLP TV. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other components to the DLP TV.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning the DLP TV. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the DLP TV. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning the product. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.
• When moving the DLP TV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may
form on the housing. Do not turn on the DLP TV immediately after this to avoid causing fire, electric shock or component damage. Do not use the DLP TV near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
• Do not place the DLP TV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the DLP TV falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the DLP TV.
• A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between the DLP TV and any heat source, i.e. radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the DLP TV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place the DLP TV on a bed, sofa, or similar surface. Do not place the DLP TV near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the DLP TV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Never push any object into the slot on the DLP TV cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the DLP TV.
• The DLP TV 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.
• The power cable must be replaced when using different voltage from that specified in the User Manual. For more information, contact your dealer.
• The DLP TV 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 as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
• Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect the DLP TV from damage due to power surges.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
• Do not attempt to repair or service the product yourself. Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to
high voltages, the risk of electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required, please contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• If any of the following occurs please contact the dealer:
o The power supply or connector fails. o Liquid sprays or any object drops into the DLP TV. o The Display is exposed to rain or other moisture. o The Display is dropped or damaged in any way. o The performance of the Display changes substantially.
• Operating environment:
Temperature: 32°F~104°F (0°C ~ 40°C) Humidity: 20% to 85% non-condensing
• Handling the remote control
o Do not drop or mishandle the remote control. o Do not get the remote control wet. If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. o Avoid heat and humidity. o When not using the remote control for a long period, remove the batteries. o Do not take the batteries apart, heat them, or throw them into a fire.

2 Connecting Components
Power Connection
Connect the power cord to the AC Input at the rear of the DLP TV and then plug the power cord into an AC wall socket.
Which Video Connection should I use?
The DLP TV has five different ways to connect your video equipment from a basic one to the most advanced for digital displays.
Connection
Quality
OK
Basic
Good S-Video. The video signal is separated into two signals, one
Better Component. The video signal is separated into three signals,
Cable and Connector Description
Coaxial RF. This is the only connection that has the audio as well as the video in this one cable. If you have an antenna, this is the only way you can connect it to the DLP TV. If you have a VCR you could 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 connector.
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 and also enables text to be displayed more sharply.
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.
Best Digital Video (DVI). All of the picture information is received
digitally coded and as your DLP TV is a digital display it does not have to convert the digital to analog. (The other inputs are converted from analog to digital by the DLP TV.) Movies are digitally encoded on DVD’s and so using a component such as the Bravo Multimedia Player from V, Inc. with a DVI output produces the ultimate picture performance.

VIZIO RP56 User Guide
Connecting your DVD Player
Using Digital Video
DVD players that have a digital interface compliant with the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard, such as the Bravo Multimedia Player from V, Inc, should be connected to the DVI input of the DLP TV.
Note:
1. Use TMDS signals conforming to DVI standards. The TMDS input is a single link input.
2. To maintain the display quality use a DVI cable from V, Inc. that is 10 meters or less.
1. Turn off the power to the DLP TV and DVD player.
2. Connect a DVI-D cable to the DVI output of your DVD player and the other end to the DVI input in the rear of your DLP TV.
3. Connect the Audio Out (Left + Right) on your DVD player to the DVI Audio In L (White) and R (Red) in the rear of your DLP TV, next to the DVI connector.
4. Turn on the power to the DLP TV and your DVD player.
5. Select DVI using the INPUT button on the front of the DLP TV.
Note: a). The DVI input on your DLP TV supports High-bandwidth Content Protection (HDCP).
HDCP encrypts the transmission between the video source and the digital display for added security and protection.
b). Refer to your DVD player User Manual for more information about the video output
requirements of the product.
