combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug your player during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when your player has
been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, when
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your player, when your player has been
exposed to rain or moisture, or when your player does not operate normally or has been
dropped.
15. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your player to rain or moisture. Your
player should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, should be placed on your player.
16. The main power plug is the disconnect device and should easy to access. Make sure that the
plug is easy to remove.
17. Do not install your player in a confined space, such as a bookcase, without allowing enough
space for ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation openings with items such as newspaper,
tablecloths, or curtains. Make sure that you allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space on all
sides of your player to allow for ventilation.

19. Dispose of batteries according to local hazardous waste regulations.

Chapter 4 Connecting Equipment
Which Video Connection Should I Use?
You have three options for connecting your TV to your Blu-ray DVD Player: HDMI, Component, or
Composite. Based on your home theater configuration, you can decide which option is the right
one for you.
High definition video is only available through HDMI and Component connections. To view high
definition content, your TV must support high definition video. Consult your TV user manual
regarding high definition video support.

(analog)
Note:
To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable. This cable is available in 6, 8,
and 12 foot lengths. Visit
Connector Description
HDMI delivers the best image quality of any of the cable 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.
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.
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 decent image, it does have lower image
quality than HDMI or Composite so try to use one of those
connections first.
