PROBLEM SOLUTION
Make sure the power button is ON (the VIZIO logo glows white). Make sure the AC power cord is securely connected to the AC
socket and try plugging the TV directly into the wall. Plug another electrical device (like a radio) to the outlet to verify the outlet is
supplying power.
For the 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 TVs, and thus you can see interference and deficiencies you did not know you had.
Press the MENU button. Use the arrows to navigate to the TV TUNER MENU. Highlight the first option, called Tuner Mode. Select the
appropriate input by using the left and right arrows. Once Tuner Mode is correct, highlight "AutoSearch", then press the right
arrow.
The Setup Wizard is no longer accessible after being run once, but all of the same settings can still be changed. Press the MENU
button to access them. For channel scan, see the above topic.
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.
When the TV displays an HD resolution the Panoramic viewing mode will not be available.
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.
PROGRAM YOUR CABLE OR SATELLITE REMOTE
