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.

Check your input connections.

Make sure the video cable supplied with the TV is secured to the correct video output port on the back of the VCR and the TV. Make any cable you have attached to the TV is secured to the correct output your Set-Top Box, DVD, etc.

Adjust brightness and contrast. Check Source settings.

If any colors (red, green, or blue) are missing, check the video cable to make sure it is securely connected.

Make sure batteries are inserted correctly

Batteries could be weak.

Make sure you have selected TV on the remote.

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.

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
