Important Safety Instructions

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 rules 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.

 The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is

intended to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated, dangerous voltage within the inside of your HDTV that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

 The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to

the presence of important operating and servicing instructions in the literature accompanying your HDTV.

 Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

www.VIZIO.com

VIZIO SV421XVT & SV471XVT User Manual

 The wall socket should be installed near your HDTV and easily accessible.  Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your HDTV. Any other voltage than the

specified voltage may cause fire or electric shock

 Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric shock, avoid handling the power

cord during electrical storms.

 Unplug your HDTV during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long period of time.

This will protect your HDTV from damage due to power surges.

 Do not attempt to repair or service your HDTV yourself. Opening or removing the back cover may

expose you to high voltages, electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required, contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

 Keep your HDTV away from moisture. Do not expose your HDTV to rain or moisture. If water

penetrates into your HDTV, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer. Continuous use in this case may result in fire or electric shock.

 Do not use your HDTV if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent, unplug

the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your HDTV yourself.

 Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your HDTV is dropped and the housing is

damaged, the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your HDTV may cause fire or electric shock.

 Do not install your HDTV in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your HDTV in

environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock.

 Follow instructions for moving your HDTV. Ensure that the power cord and any other cables are

unplugged before moving your HDTV.

 When unplugging your HDTV, hold the power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord may

damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When your HDTV will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.

 To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.  Insert batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarities may cause the batteries to

leak which can damage the remote control or injure the operator.

 If any of the following occurs, contact the dealer:

o The power cord fails or frays. o Liquid sprays or any object drops into your HDTV. o Your HDTV is exposed to rain or other moisture. o Your HDTV is dropped or damaged in any way. o The performance of your HDTV changes substantially.

Television Antenna Connection Protection

External 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.

Advisory of the DTV Transition

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.

For additional information, please contact the parties listed below, as appropriate:

 The power consumption of your HDTV is about 144W (AVG) for the SV421XVT and 204W (AVG)

for the SV471XVT.

o Use the included power cord. o When an extension cord is required, use one with the correct power rating. The 3-

pronged cord must be grounded and the grounding feature (3 compromised.

 Install your HDTV on a flat surface to avoid tipping.  For proper ventilation, you must allow space between the back of your HDTV and the wall.  Avoid installing your HDTV in places with high humidity, dust, or smoke so you do not shorten the

service life of the electronic components.

 Install your HDTV in a level, landscape orientation, with the VIZIO logo at the bottom to prevent

poor ventilation and excessive component damage.

 If you want to mount your HDTV on the wall, see below for additional information.  Read this user manual carefully before installing your HDTV.

Attaching the safety strap

When your HDTV is not mounted on the wall, use the included safety strap to attach the HDTV to the wall to reduce the chance of the HDTV being pulled over. The Safety Strap should be used with common sense practice such as ensuring that children (or adults) do not climb up, grabbing the top of the HDTV and pulling it onto themselves.

1. Attach one end of the strap to the wall:

 If you have a drywall finish attach it to a stud, using a

washer underneath the screw head.

 If you have a solid wall you should use a lag bolt, again

using a washer under the nut.

2. Attach the other end of the Safety Strap to one of the upper wall mounting holes on the back of the HDTV, using a washer under the screw head.

Which Video Connection Should I Use?

You have several options for connecting your video equipment box to your HDTV from a basic connection to the most advanced for digital displays. Based on your Home Theater configuration, you can decide which option is the right one for you.

Note: For more info refer to the Quick Start Guide

Connection

Quality (type)

Connector Description

Best

(digital)

HDMI delivers the best image quality of any of the signal types

available and it’s all done over one cable. You get a great picture and cut down on your cable clutter. HDMI provides digital quality and amazing sound so if your TV has HDMI, this is the connection type you should be using.

Best

(analog)

Connect your antenna or coaxial cable to watch TV programming. This cable usually comes from your cable box or right out of the wall.

Best

(analog)

The RGB (VGA) port allows you to connect your computer so you can use the TV as your monitor.

Better

(analog)

Component consists of three cables for transmitting video and two cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. Component video provides a sharper image than Composite video and should be used instead of composite when possible. However, because it is still an analog connection, it won’t provide the high-quality video and audio that HDMI can produce.

Good

(analog)

S-Video (AV1) - Combining the three video signals into two channels, S-Video provides a sharper image than Composite video, but is not as good as Component video.

Composite consists of one yellow cable for transmitting video and two cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. It is capable of transmitting stereo sound and standard definition video (480i). While it provides a good image, it has lower image quality than HDMI or Component. So try to use one of those connections first.

Chapter 8 Adjusting Your HDTV Settings

Using the On Screen Display (OSD)

The remote control or the control buttons on the left hand side of the TV can control all the function settings. The On Screen Display (OSD) allows you to adjust contrast, brightness and other settings. The TV will save changes made to the settings, even if the TV is turned off.

The OSD consists of several menu options: Picture, Audio Mode, TV, and Setup. The main menu options may vary depending on your selected input source.

Note: Some of the main menu options may have additional submenus, for example, the TV Rating

submenu for Parental Controls.

1. Press the MENU button on the remote control and the Picture menu will be shown on the screen.

2. Press either of the HDTV to select one of the other menu options:

Brightness

The Brightness adjusts the black levels in the picture. If the brightness is too low you will not be able to see the detail in darker parts of the picture and if the brightness is too high the picture will look washed out.

Contrast

The Contrast adjusts the white levels in the picture. If the contrast is too low the picture will look washed out and if the contrast is too high you will not be able to see any detail in the bright parts of a picture.

Color

Color adjusts the amount of color in the picture.

Tint

The Tint adjusts the hue of the picture. The easiest way to set tint is to look at flesh tones and adjust for a realistic appearance. In most cases, the default middle position is correct. If people’s faces look too orange try reducing the level of color first.

Sharpness

The Sharpness adjustment adjusts the sharpness of the edges of elements in the picture. It does not produce detail that otherwise does not exist. This adjustment is helpful when viewing (Standard Definition) sources.

Advanced Video

To select the options in the Advanced Video sub-menu, press the OK button or the ► button. A new menu will be displayed showing the advanced functions available for fine tuning of the picture.

Noise Reduction

This feature diminishes picture artifacts caused by the digitizing of image motion content that may be present in the picture. Choose from the Off, Low, Medium, or Strong setting.

Color Enhancement

This feature increases the picture reproduction performance of the picture by reducing oversaturation of certain colors and improving flesh tones. Choose from Off, Normal, Rich Color, Green/Flesh, and Green/Blue setting.

Advanced Adaptive Luma

Large areas of brightness in the picture will result in a higher Average Picture Level (APL) and the overall picture will look too light. This feature will lower the APL to counteract this effect. Choose from Off, Low, Medium, Strong, or Extend.

Backlight Control

Set this feature to OFF, DCR, or OPC. DCR (Dynamic Contrast Ratio) improves the black level performance and increases contrast ratio. OPC (Optimum Power Control) Reduces power consumption while maintaining the same picture brightness.

Chapter 9 Understanding Viewing Features

Your HDTV features the following viewing modes. You can switch viewing modes using the remote control.

Viewing Modes

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. These movies were originally filmed in 16:9 (widescreen), and then modified to fit a traditional TV screen (4:3).

Full

Full mode allows you to view the entire picture. Recommended for HDMI and RGB / Computer viewing so you can see the complete picture without the image overstretching beyond the viewing area. If you experience “noise” along the border switch to Zoom 1. For 720p, 1080i, 1080p only.

Zoom 1 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.

Zoom 2 Zooms in by 14% to crop the top and bottom bars for 2.35:1 film resolutions. For 480i/p, 4:3 only.

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.

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.

Chapter 11 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Cleaning the TV and Remote Control

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. VIZIO 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.

Important:

 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 following troubleshooting guide for possible solutions. Remember to check the peripherals to pinpoint the source of the failure. If the display still fails to perform as expected, contact the VIZIO for assistance by calling 1-877-MYVIZIO (698-4946) or e-mail us at

techsupport@VIZIO.com.

The TV has pixels (dots) that are always dark or colored.

 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.

You see “noise” or “trash” on the screen.

 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.

You switch to a different input and the volume changes.

 The TV remembers the volume level from the last time you adjusted it. If the

sound level is higher or lower from another source, then the volume will change.

You switch to a different input and the screen size changes.

 The TV remembers the viewing mode from the last time you used a particular input

(AV-1, AV-2, Component, HDMI and TV).

Tips for High-Definition Users.

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

 Best image quality will 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.

Tips for Letterbox Content Users.

 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. To use this function, press ZOOM on the remote control to cycle among the options.
