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.

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
OK
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
