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.

x To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before

connecting other components to your HDTV.

x 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.

x Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.

x 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.

x 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.

x 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.

x 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.

x 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.

x 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.

x 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.

x The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified. For

more information, contact your dealer.

x 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.

x When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your HDTV. To

totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

x 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.

x 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.

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

x The wall socket should be installed near your HDTV and easily accessible.

x 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

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

cord during electrical storms.

x 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.

x 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.

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

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

unplugged before moving your HDTV.

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.

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.

FCC Bulletin for New TV Owners

After February 17, 2009, a television receiver with only an analog broadcast tuner will require a
converter box to receive full power over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the
Nation's transition to digital 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.

Information about the DTV transition is available from

http://www.DTV.gov

or this manufacturer at

877 MY VIZIO (877-698-4946), and from

http://www.dtv2009.gov

or 1-888-DTV-2009 for information

about subsidized coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes.

Your HDTV comes with a built-in tuner capable of processing digital broadcasts, making it easier
for you to receive this type of signal without the need of an extra converter box.

Installation Preparation

Please read this user manual carefully before installing your VIZIO HDTV.
The power consumption of the TV is up to 80W, 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 LCD 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 90û 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

Disassembling Your LCD HDTV

If you want to transport your VO22L FHDTV, it is recommended that you disassemble the TV from the
base stand and put the contents back into the original box. Please follow the instructions below to
disassemble your VO22L FHDTV.

1. Familiarize with the base design as show below. These are two points where squeezing pressure
must be applied.

2. Place the TV face down on a soft (blanket, foam, cloth, etc.) flat surface to prevent any damage
to the unit, making sure that the screen is resting well on the surface so that there is not an
uneven pressure. Let the base hangs at the edge of the flat surface, as shown below; to make it
easier to detach it from the TV.

3. Applying enough squeezing pressure at these two points will release the clips from the locking
position, making it smoother to separate the base from the TV.

Note:

If the goal is to remove the Base Stand for wall mounting, please follow the instructions

or steps under such topic in the User!s Manual.

HDMI (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.

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.

Better

(analog)

Green

Component - 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.

Good

(analog)

Yellow

and

Red

S-Video (AV) - 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.

Composite (AV) - The complete video signal is carried
through this single pin connector. This is the most
commonly used video connection.

3.17 Understanding Viewing Features

Your HDTV features the following viewing modes. You can switch viewing modes using the remote
control, please follow the instructions in page 37.

3.17.1 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).

Wide Mode

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.

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 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

4.1 Maintenance

Important

1. Make sure that the power cable is removed from the socket before cleaning the TV.

2. Do not use volatile solvent (such as toluene, rosin and alcohol) to clean the TV. Such
chemicals may damage the housing, screen glass and remote control, and cause paint to
peel.

Cleaning the Housing and Remote Control

1. Use the VIZIO soft cloth (included) for cleaning.

2. If the housing or remote control is seriously contaminated, use a soft cloth moistened with
diluted neutral cleaner to clean the display. Wring water out of the cloth before cleaning to
prevent water from penetrating into the housing. Wipe the display with a dry cloth after
cleaning.

Cleaning the Screen

1. Use the VIZIO soft cotton cloth (included) to gently clean the screen.

2. The screen glass is very fragile. Do not scrape it with any sharp object. Do not press or tap
the screen to avoid cracking. When the screen is seriously contaminated, use a soft cloth
moistened with diluted neutral cleaner to clean the display. Wring water out of the cloth
before cleaning to prevent water from penetrating into the housing. Wipe the display with a
dry cloth after cleaning.

4.2 Troubleshooting Guide

If the TV fails or the performance changes dramatically, check the display in accordance with the
following instructions. 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-

There appears to be image
quality issues.

For best image quality, view HD wide screen programs where possible. If HD
content is not available view “Standard Definition” from a digital source. Standard,
analog TV will always be noticeably inferior to HD because your digital flat panel TV
has video that is many times better than old TV’s and so you can see interference
and deficiencies you did not know you had.

You cannot see a picture. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.

Make sure that the power button is turned on.

Make sure that the selected input source is connected to a working input source.

If your TV is connected to your computer in RGB or HDMI mode, press any key on
your keyboard to “wake” your computer.

You see a distorted picture or
hear unusual sound.

You may be getting interference from electrical appliances, cars, motorcycles, or
fluorescent lights. If you have not mounted it on the wall, try moving your TV to
another location to see if this is the cause of the problem.

The picture has abnormal
patterns.

Make sure that the input source cable is attached securely and correctly to the back
of your TV.

Make sure that the video input source is within the range of your TV. Compare the
video input source’s specifications with your TV specifications.

The display image does not
cover the entire screen.

If you are using RGB mode, make sure that H Size and V Position in the On Screen
Display (OSD) are set correctly.

If you are using TV, AV-C (Composite), AV-S (S-Video) or Component with 480i
input, follow instructions in page 51 to obtain the desired screen mode.

You can see a picture but you
cannot hear sound.

Make sure that the volume is not turned down.

Make sure that the sound is not muted.

Make sure that your audio input source cables are connected securely and correctly.

The TV has pixels that are
always dark or colored.

Your LCD HDTV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision
technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your LCD 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 LCD HDTV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the
signal is up-converted (increased) to match your TV’s display capabilities. Up­converting can cause noise or trash.

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 loudness 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-C (Composite), AV-S (S-Video), Component, HDMI and TV).

Tips for High-Definition Users. The LCD HDTV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content.

Best Image Quality will be achieved by the HDMI Input, then YPbPr, then RGB.

However, due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image
distortions can occur.

Tips for Letterbox Content Users. Letterboxed (or “Widescreen”) versions of DVD movies are most commonly

formatted for standard 4:3 Televisions. The LCD HDTV has the capability of
expanding this content so the entire screen is filled at the expense of image
accuracy. Follow the instructions in page 32.

5.2 Glossary – Standard Definitions

Analog TV: Today!s TV system using radio frequency waves to transmit and display pictures and sound.
Aspect Ratio (4x3): Traditional TV “aspect ratio”, that is, the screen’s width as compared to its height.

For example, a “32 inch TV screen” would be 25 inches wide and 19 inches tall.
Aspect Ratio (16x9): “Wide screen TV” aspect ratio which is more like a movie screen than a traditional

TV. For example, a “32 inch TV screen” would be 28 inches wide and 16 inches tall.
Digital TV (DTV): Television delivered and displayed using radio frequency waves that contain

information that is digitally encoded for improved quality and efficiency.
Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV): A better digital television transmission than SDTV with at least 480P,

in a 16x9 or 4x3 display and Dolby digital surround sound. 480P is the quality used by most DVD players.
EDTV provides 300-400,000 pixels.

HDTV Monitor (sometimes called HDTV Ready): A set that can display HDTV programming if you have
a separate HDTV tuner, HD Cable Set-Top Box or HD Satellite Set-Top-Box Receiver.

HDTV Tuner (also decoder, receiver, set-top box): A device capable of receiving and outputting HDTV
signals for display. It may be stand-alone or integrated in the set.

High-Definition Television (HDTV): The best quality picture, wide screen (16x9) display with at least
720 progressively scanned lines (720P) or 1080 interlaced lines (1080i) and Dolby digital surround sound.
HDTV provides 900,000-2.1 million pixels.

Integrated HDTV: An HDTV that has the digital tuner built into the set. It does not need a separate set­top box to receive over-the-air DTV signals.

Interlace Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the odd lines first, then
filling the in the even lines (this happens instantaneously).

Plug-and-Play or Digital Cable Ready: A DTV or other device for digital cable consumers that plugs
directly into the cable jack and does not require a separate set-top box. Plug-and-Play TV owners must
obtain a CableCARD from their cable company in order to view scrambled programming services.

Progressive Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the lines consecutively
(progressively).

Standard Definition TV (SDTV): Basic digital television transmission that may be displayed with fewer
than 480 progressively scanned lines (480P) in 16 x 9 or 4 x 3 format. 480 interlaced (480i) is the quality
of today’s analog TV system.

Note: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)
and the Consumer Electronics Retailers Coalition (CERC) have made a new tip sheet available for digital
television (DTV) retailers to reproduce and distribute to consumers on the sales floor. The file may be
