Troubleshooting

The remote is not responding.

• Make sure the batteries are properly inserted matching the - and + symbols.
• Replace the batteries with fresh ones.

The TV displays “No Signal.”

• Press the INPUT button on the remote control to select a different input source.
• If you are using cable TV or antenna connected directly to the TV, scan for channels.

There is no power.

• Ensure the TV is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
• Ensure the power cable is securely attached to the TV.
• Press the Power/Standby button on the remote or on the back of the TV to turn the TV on.

The power is on, but there is no image on the screen.

• Ensure all cables are securely attached to the TV.
• Ensure all devices are connected correctly.
• Press the INPUT button on the remote to select a different input source.

There is no sound.

• Press Volume Up on the remote control.
• Press the MUTE button on the remote to ensure mute is off.
• Check the audio settings.
• Check the audio connections of external devices (Blu-ray player, game console, cable/satellite box) that are connected to the TV.
• If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move the antenna around the room or close to a window for the best signal.

The sound is flat or dialog is not audible.

• Turn off Volume Leveling.
• The colors on the TV don’t look right.
• Adjust the Color and Tint settings in the Picture menu.
• Select a pre-set picture mode. VIZIO recommends selecting Calibrated
• Check all cables to ensure they are securely attached.

The buttons on the remote aren’t working.

• Ensure you are only pressing one button at a time.
• Point the remote directly at the TV when pressing a button.
• Replace the remote batteries with new ones.

The image quality is not good.

• For the best image quality, view high-definition programs using digital sources. Connect your devices with HDMI cables.
• If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move the antenna around the room or close to a window for the best signal.

The picture is distorted.

• Move the TV away from electrical appliances, cars, and fluorescent lights.
• Ensure all cables are securely attached.
• The display image does not cover the entire screen.
• If you are using TV, AV, or Component with 480i input, press the button on the remote to change the screen mode.

The TV has pixels (dots) that are always dark.

• Your HD TV is precision-manufactured using an extremely high level of technology. However, sometimes pixels may not display correctly. These types of occurrences are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a defective product.

I see “noise” or static on the screen.

• When your TV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is up-converted (improved) to match your TV’s display capabilities. This up-converting can sometimes cause irregularities in the image.
• If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move the antenna around the room or close to a window for the best signal.

When I change input source, the display image changes size.

• The TV remembers the viewing mode on each input source. If the viewing mode on the new input source differs from the one on the input source you switch from, the difference may be noticeable.
