Vizio VF550XVT1A User manual

Brand: Vizio

Model: VF550XVT1A

Category: LCD TVs

Type: User manual

Vizio VF550XVT1A is a high-definition TV that offers a variety of features and capabilities to enhance your viewing experience. With its HDMI, component, and other video inputs, you can connect various devices such as cable boxes, gaming consoles, and Blu-ray players. The TV also features built-in speakers, providing a well-rounded audio experience. Additionally, the Vizio VF550XVT1A comes with a remote control, making it easy to navigate menus and adjust settings from the comfort of your couch.

For the best quality picture,

we recommend using HDMI,

DTV, RGB or Component

inputs when possible. These

are the only inputs capable

of high definition (HD).

Using these inputs does not

guarantee high definition

unless a high definition

source is connected.

However, not all equipment

is capable of these

connections. TV, AV and

S-Video are not capable of

HD signals.

Both DTV and TV share the

same port. The television will

automatically register which

input type is connected.
