1 Introduction

Features

• Huge 56-inch screen.

• HDTV 16:9 Aspect Ratio.

• Only 18.9 inches / 480 mm deep.

• 75.9 lbs/34.5kg light.

• Bright flicker free picture.

• 480P, 720P, 1080I and HDTV signal compatibility.

• 480i support for old NTSC television.

• 640x480 VGA, 800x600 SVGA, 1024x768 XGA computer signal compatibility.

• When displaying film-based media the TV automatically converts the content using 2:3 Pull

Down to minimize motion artifacts to produce a stunning picture.

• Uses DCDi™ Motion Adaptive Deinterlacing for state-of-the-art conversion of interlaced (NTSC

or 1080i HD) to progressive scan.

• DVI input with HDCP for the best display of Digital Video from components such as the VINC

award winning Bravo Multi-Media Player that is recognized as providing the best picture from

DVD and CD.

• High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) will be used for HD Programs and Movies

and the HDTV needs this feature to be able to display the picture.

• Two HD Component Video inputs automatically synchronize to the input.

• Compatible with HDTV from an external HDTV box with DVI, RGB or Component Video

outputs.

• Picture-In-Picture (PIP) modes allow simultaneous display of multiple programs.

• Digital Zoom to make the picture fill the screen. The 16:9 aspect of HDTV translates to a ratio

of 1.77 but widescreen movies are filmed at a ratio of 2.35 and this is the reason there are still

black bars at the top and bottom of the HDTV screen when playing widescreen DVD’s. Using

Digital Zoom can eliminate these black bars although the edges of the picture will be lost.

• BBE

sound processor to maximize the sound quality.

• Simulates surround sound with just the two built-in speakers using the SRS

sound processor.

• Selectable fixed Line Out or variable audio output.

• Built-in 15W per channel audio amplifier and speakers.

• OSD menu-driven on screen control system that makes image adjustments a snap.

place for future reference.

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

components to the DLP TV.

• Unplug the power cord before cleaning the DLP TV. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the DLP 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 DLP TV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may

form on the housing. Do not turn on the DLP TV immediately after this to avoid causing fire, electric shock or

component damage. Do not use the DLP TV near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,

swimming pool or in a wet basement.

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

serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the

DLP TV.

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

oven, amplifier etc.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation

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

the DLP TV on a bed, sofa, or similar surface. Do not place the DLP TV near or over a radiator or heat register. Do

not place the DLP TV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the slot on the DLP TV cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric

shock. Never spill liquids on the DLP TV.

• The DLP TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of

the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

• The power cable must be replaced when using different voltage from that specified in the User Manual. For more

information, contact your dealer.

• The DLP TV is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit

only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug,

have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the grounded plug.

• Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect the

DLP TV from damage due to power surges.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

• The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

• Do not attempt to repair or service the product yourself. Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to

high voltages, the risk of electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required, please contact your dealer and

refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• If any of the following occurs please contact the dealer:

o The power supply or connector fails.

o Liquid sprays or any object drops into the DLP TV.

o The Display is exposed to rain or other moisture.

o The Display is dropped or damaged in any way.

o The performance of the Display changes substantially.

• Operating environment:

Temperature: 32°F~104°F (0°C ~ 40°C)

Humidity: 20% to 85% non-condensing

• Handling the remote control

o Do not drop or mishandle the remote control.

o Do not get the remote control wet. If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

o Avoid heat and humidity.

2 Connecting Components

Power Connection

Connect the power cord to the AC Input at the rear of the DLP TV and then plug the power cord into an

AC wall socket.

Which Video Connection should I use?

The DLP TV has five 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 as

well as the video in this one cable. If you have an antenna, this

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

VCR you could connect your antenna/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

connector.

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 and 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.

Best Digital Video (DVI). All of the picture information is received

digitally coded and as your DLP TV is a digital display it does

not have to convert the digital to analog. (The other inputs are

converted from analog to digital by the DLP TV.) Movies are

digitally encoded on DVD’s and so using a component such as

the Bravo Multimedia Player from V, Inc. with a DVI output

produces the ultimate picture performance.

VIZIO RP56 User Guide

040330 13
