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.

Lzightning 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.

1.10.4 - Precautions for the VIZIO Remote Control

• Remote control should be kept dry and away from heat sources. Avoid humidity.
• If the display responds erratically to the remote control or does not respond at all, check the batteries. If the batteries are low or exhausted, replace them with fresh batteries.
- When not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries.

• Do not take apart the batteries, heat them, or throw them into a fire.
• Do not subject the remote control to undue physical stress, such as striking or dropping it.
- Do not attempt to clean the remote control with a volatile solvent. Wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.

Chapter 2 - Connecting Components

2.1 - Which Video Connection Should I Use?

The VIZIO L13e 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
OK		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/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 this type of input.

2.2 - Connecting Your DVD Player

You have several options for connecting your DVD player to your new L13e LCD TV - Component, S-Video and Composite inputs. Based on your home theater configuration, you can decide which option is the right one for you.
