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.

Installation Preparation
Please read this user manual carefully before installing your VIZIO HDTV. The power consumption of the TV is about 650W, please use the power cord designated for TV. When
an extension cord is required, use one with the correct power rating. The cord must be grounded and the grounding feature must not be defeated.
The TV should be installed on a flat surface to avoid tipping. For proper ventilation, you must allow space between the back of the TV and the wall. If you would like to mount your TV on the wall, please see below ‘Preparing Your Plasma HDTV for Wall Mounting’ for additional information. Avoid installing the TV in places with high humidity, dust or smoke so as not to shorten the service life of the electronic components.
Install the TV in landscape orientation; any 90˚ clockwise or counter-clockwise installation may induce poor ventilation and excessive component damage.
VIZIO offers professional installation services. Please contact VIZIO for more information on these services at 888-VIZIOCE (888-849-4623) or www.VIZIO.com
.
Preparing Your Plasma HDTV for Wall Mounting
The VIZIO VM60P HDTV can either be kept on the stand base or mounted on the wall for viewing. If you choose to mount the VM60P HDTV on the wall, please follow the instructions below for removing the stand base.
1. Unplug all of the cables and cords from your VM60P HDTV.
2. If you have attached the Audio Deflector and want to remove it you should remove it now.
3. Fasten the Wall Mount (sold separately) arms to the four mounting holes shown using metric screws M8, 1.25mm pitch, 15mm long.
4. Remove the four (4) screws so that the TV can be lifted up and away from the stand.
5. A minimum of two people is required to lift the HDTV or serious personal injury may be incurred. With one person at either side of the HDTV, each person should place their hand in the Hand­Hold provided at the lower rear left and right of the HDTV (circled in blue above), and steadying the top of the HDTV with their other hand, they can lift the HDTV up off the stand and to the mount on the wall.
Please make sure to read the instructions of your specific mount to properly hang the VM60P HDTV.
To find the perfect mount for the VIZIO VM60P HDTV, browse VIZIO’s certified mount selection at

Attaching the Audio Deflector
The VM60P HDTV uniquely uses a downward facing speaker configuration has a Audio Deflector in the carton for you to attach to the bottom of the HDTV to deflect the downward traveling sound waves to come forward from the HDTV. Carefully remove the Audio Deflector from its individual carton and follow the instructions below for mounting it to the HDTV.
1. Place the Audio Deflector below the HDTV and center it using the VIZIO on the front of the
HDTV as a guide.
2. Starting from the left side or right
side of the HDTV, lift the Deflector and push the locating posts of the Deflector into the post holes.
Make sure the Retaining Tabs enter into the retaining slots.
3. Fasten the Audio Deflector
permanently in place by using a Philips Head Screwdriver to fix the Retaining Tabs in place using the screws provided.
Attaching the Safety Strap
For when the VM60P HDTV is not mounted on the wall with a Wall Mount, a Safety Strap has been included 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. Fix one end of the strap to the wall. If you have a drywell
finish it is preferable to fix it to a stud if it is a drywall finish, 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. Fix 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.

Precautionary Tips for Inserting the Batteries:
Only use the specified AA batteries. Do not mix new and old batteries. This may result in cracking or leakage
that may pose a fire risk or lead to personal injury. Inserting the batteries incorrectly may also result in cracking or leakage
that may pose a fire risk or lead to personal injury. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with local laws and regulations. Keep the batteries away form children and pets.

receiver window, 30° to the left and right, 20° up and down.
1.4.3 VIZIO Universal Remote Control Precautions
The remote control should be kept dry and away from heat sources. Avoid humidity. If the TV responds erratically to the remote control or does respond at all, check the batteries. If the
batteries are low or exhausted, replace them with fresh batteries. When not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries. Do not take the batteries apart, heat them, or throw them into a fire. Do not subject the remote control to undue physical stress, such as striking or dropping it.

HDMI 1/2/3/4 (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) ­It is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), over a single cable.
DTV Coaxial RF. When used for MPEG2 encoded bit streams from ATSC broadcast programming, this input takes advantage of the High Definition content.

RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red, green and blue color components. The signal carries horizontal and vertical sync information on the green signal. This is most commonly used for PC input.
Component 1/2 - The video signal is separated into three signals, 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.

S-Video (AV1/2) - The video signal is separated into two signals, one 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. It also enables text to be displayed more sharply.
AV1/2 (Composite) - The complete video signal is carried through this single pin connector. This is the most commonly used video connection.
