Important Safety Instructions

Your HDTV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits. 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 three 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.

 VIZIO E421VL / E470VL / E551VL 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.

Precautionary Tips for Inserting the Batteries:

• Do not mix new and old batteries. This may result in cracking or leakage that may cause a fire or
lead to personal injury.
• Inserting the batteries incorrectly may also result in cracking or leakage that may cause a fire or
lead to personal injury.
• Dispose of batteries according to local hazardous waste regulations.
• Keep the batteries away from children and pets.

Remote Control Range

• Point the remote control directly at this sensor for the
best response to the remote signal.
• Do not place any obstacles between the remote control
and the remote control sensor.
• The effective range of the remote control is
approximately 22 feet (7 meters) from the front of the
remote control sensor, 30° to the left and right, 20° up
and down.

VIZIO 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 not 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.

Chapter 6 Connecting Equipment

Which Video Connection Should I Use?
You have six 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.

Connection
Connector Description
Quality (type)

HDMI delivers the best image quality of any of the cable types available
Best and it’s all done over one cable. You get a great picture and cut down on
(digital) 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
(digital)
Connect your antenna or coaxial cable to watch TV programming. This
-----------
cable usually comes from your cable box or right out of the wall.
Good
(analog)

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

Component consists of three cables for transmitting video and two

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

Note: To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable. This cable is available in 6, 8,
and 12 foot lengths. Visit www.vizio.com or call 1-888-VIZIOCE (1-888-849-4623) for details.

Wide Menu
Select how the picture displays on the screen. As you select an option, you will see the screen adjusting
to the different sizes. The options vary depending on the selected input and the TV program:

Normal
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
Wide mode allows you to view the entire picture. This is recommended for HDMI and RGB (Computer)
viewing so you can see the complete picture without the image overstretching beyond the viewing area.
For 720p, 1080i, 1080p only.

Zoom
Zoom mode will "zoom in" to the center of the image, allowing 4:3 images to be viewed in original aspect
ratio without stretching the black bars. The top and the bottom of the image are cropped out, though.

Panoramic
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.

Stretch
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.

Chapter 10 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 the 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 (877-698-4946)
or e-mail us at [email protected].

(Covers units purchased as new in United States and Puerto Rico Only)
VIZIO provides a warranty to the original purchaser of its products against defects in materials and workmanship
for a period of one year of non-commercial usage and ninety (90) days of commercial use. If a VIZIO product is

portion of the original warranty or for ninety (90) days from warranty service or replacement, whichever is later.
Types of Service
Units 30” or larger will usually be serviced in-home. In-home service requires complete and easy access to the unit

to send the unit to a VIZIO service center. VIZIO will cover the transportation charges to and from the same
customer location.
Units less than 30” must be sent to a VIZIO service center. VIZIO is not responsible for transportation costs to the
service center, but VIZIO will cover return shipping to the customer. PRE-AUTHORIZATION IS REQUIRED
BEFORE SENDING ANY UNIT IN FOR SERVICE.
Any returns to VIZIO’s service centers must utilize either the original carton box and shipping material or a
replacement box and material provided by VIZIO. VIZIO technical support will provide instructions for packing and
shipping the unit to the VIZIO service center.

are not limited to cosmetic damage, normal wear and tear, misuse, signal issues, power surges, and damages
from shipping, acts of God, any sort of customer misuse, installation, customer modifications, adjustments, and
set-up issues. Units with unreadable or removed serial numbers, “image burn-in”, and routine maintenance are not
covered. This warranty does not cover products sold “AS IS”, “FACTORY RECERTIFIED”, or by a non-authorized
reseller.
THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THOSE LISTED OR DESCRIBED ABOVE. ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE PERIOD OF TIME SET FORTH
ABOVE. VIZIO'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS,
WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. THIS WARRANTY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
