1.5 - Important Safety Guidelines

This product is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and misuse may result in electric shock or fire.

To prevent the product from being damaged, the following rules should be observed for the installation, use and maintenance of the

product. Read the following safety instructions before operating the display. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future

reference.

• To avoid the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other components to the

• Unplug the power cord before cleaning the 20LL LCD TV. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the 20LL LCD TV. Do not use

a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning the product. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

• Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.

• When moving the 20LL LCD TV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form on

the housing. Do not turn on the 20LL LCD TV immediately after this to avoid causing fire, electric shock or component

damage.

• Do not place the 20LL LCD TV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the 20LL LCD TV falls, it can injure a person and cause

serious damage to the appliance.

• A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between the 20LL LCD TV and any heat source, i.e. radiator, heater, oven,

amplifier etc. Do not install the product close to smoke. Operating the product 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 the 20LL

LCD TV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place the 20LL LCD TV

in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

1.6 - Television Antenna Connection Protection

External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to the LCD 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 LCD TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or

unused for long periods of time, unplug the LCD 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.

fire risk or lead to personal injury.

• Inserting the batteries incorrectly may result in cracking or leakage that may pose a fire

risk or lead to personal injury.

Chapter 2 - Connecting Components

2.1 - Which Video Connection Should I Use?

The VIZIO™ HDX 20L LCD TV has four different ways to connect your video equipment from a

basic one to the most advanced for digital displays.

Connection Quality Cable and Connector Description

Coaxial RF. This is the only connection that has the audio and

the video in one cable. If you have an antenna or cable, this is

the only way you can connect it to the LCD TV. If you have a

VCR, you can connect your antenna or cable to the VCR RF

Input and connect the VCR RF Output to this connector.

Basic

Composite. The complete video signal is carried through this

single pin connector. This is the most commonly used video

connection.

Good

S-Video. The video signal is separated into two signals, one

containing the black-and-white information and the other

containing the color information. Separating the color in this way

avoids ‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black and

white lines are erroneously displayed in color. It also enables

text to be displayed more sharply.

Better

Component. The video signal is separated into three signals,

one containing the black-and-white information and the other

two containing the color information. This enhancement over S-

Video takes advantage of the superior picture provided by

progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.

Color Coded Connections

In this chapter, you will see how to connect your most commonly used your home theater

components including your DVD player, HDTV set-top box, VCR, video camera and

coaxial cable.

For your convenience, the side connections have been grouped together by color bands

which are referenced within the instructions. Please see below for a brief overview.

Color Band Description of Connections

Purple (PC in) Connectors for D-sub and complementing audio

Yellow (AV2 in) Connectors for Composite video with left/right audio inputs. The audio

connections are shared between the Composite and Component inputs.

Green (AV2 in) Connectors for Component video with left/right audio inputs. The audio

connections are shared between the Composite and Component inputs.

Orange (AV1 in) Connectors for Composite video with left/right audio inputs. The audio

connections are shared between the Composite and S-video inputs.

Red (AV1 in) Connector for S-video with left/right audio inputs. The audio connections are

shared between the Composite and S-video inputs.
