3 WAYS TO WATCH
HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO
Make sure you have components with HDMI
outputs to ensure the BEST possible picture.
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
No Power
Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the AC socket on the back of the TV, and connected to the wall socket. Make
sure the TV has power (VIZIO logo on the front of the TV glows white). Plug another electrical device (like a radio) to the outlet to
check the outlet is supplying power.
Picture is blurry or fuzzy/
image quality issues
For the best image quality, view HD widescreen 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 HDTV displays video at resolutions
much higher than old TVs, so you will see more details and deficiencies in standard definition content that you didn't see before.
Cannot change channels up and
down with direct cable hookup
from wall or antenna
Press the VIA button. Use the arrows to navigate to the HDTV Settings App in the VIA Dock and press OK. Use the arrow keys to
select TV Settings. Scroll to select Tuner, then select the method you have for receiving TV channels. Then select Auto Channel
Scan to search for your TV channels.
Cannot return to Setup App
The Setup App is no longer accessible after being run once, but all of the same settings can still be changed. Press the VIA button,
then select the HDTV Settings App from the dock.
Screen is displaying blue/no
signal and/or turning off after a
few seconds
Your TV may be on an inactive input. After powering on the TV, press the INPUT button on your remote repeatedly until a picture
re-appears. If this does not work, try it a second time but press the button slower this time; it can take as long as 30 seconds for
the image to reappear.
I do not have high-speed
Internet service
The HDTV will continue to display a crisp, clear HD picture as long as it is receiving an HD signal. However, you will not be able to
enjoy the Internet-based features and content of the built-in VIA platform.
Black or gray bars on top, bottom,
and/or sides of picture
Try setting your TV to wide or zoom mode; the image should fill the screen. If you still see bars, they are part of the image the TV is
receiving. Cable and satellite boxes may add black bars to the picture, especially when HDMI cables are used. For more
information, please contact your service provider.
1. Get a VIZIO Blu-ray™ Disc Player.
2. Contact your cable company or satellite
provider to learn more about HD
programming in your local area (an HD
cable box or satellite receiver may
be required).
3. You may be able to get HD signals using
an off-air antenna. To see if you can
receive off-air HD signals, and for help
choosing the right antenna, visit
