Lightning Protection
For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the 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.

The TV should be installed on a flat surface to avoid tipping. For proper ventilation, you must allow space between the back of the TV and the wall. If you would like to mount your TV on the wall, please see below ‘Preparing Your LCD HDTV for Wall Mounting’ for additional information. Avoid installing the TV in places with high humidity, dust or smoke so as not to shorten the service life of the electronic components.
Install the TV in landscape orientation; any 90˚ clockwise or counter-clockwise installation may induce poor ventilation and excessive component damage.
VIZIO offers professional installation services. Please contact VIZIO for more information on these services at 888-VIZIOCE (888-849-4623) or www.vizio.com.

Attaching the Safety Strap
For when the GV52L FHDTV10A is not mounted on the wall with a Wall Mount, a Safety Strap has been included to attach the HDTV to the wall to reduce the chance of the HDTV being pulled over. The Safety
Strap should be used with common sense practice such as ensuring that children (or adults) do not climb up, grabbing the top of the HDTV and pulling it onto themselves.
1.

Fix one end of the strap to the wall. If you have a drywall finish it is preferable to fix it to a stud, using a washer underneath the screw head. If you have a solid wall you should use a lag bolt, again using a washer under the nut.

2.

Fix the other end of the Safety
Strap to one of the upper wall mounting holes on the back of the HDTV, using a washer under the screw head.

4.18 Understanding Viewing Modes
Normal Mode
The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is preserved, so black bars are added to the left and right of the display image. Standard TV broadcasts are displayed with a 4:3 Aspect Ratio. Movies in 4:3 Aspect Ratio may be referred to as pan-and-scan or full frame. These movies were originally filmed in 16:9
(widescreen), and then modified to fit a traditional TV screen (4:3).

Wide Mode
When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame movie in this mode, the display image is stretched proportionately to fill the TV screen.
When watching a widescreen (1.78:1 source) program or movie, the display image fills the TV screen. If you are watching a widescreen
(1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, there will still be black bars at the top and bottom.
When watching a standard definition 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) the picture will fill the screen but will be stretched horizontally; people will look fatter than they are.

Zoom Mode
When watching a widescreen (1.78:1, 1.85:1, or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, the display image is zoomed proportionally to fill the width of the screen. The top and bottom are cut off to remove most of the source material’s black bars. This mode is good for programs or movies with sub-titles.

Panoramic Mode
When watching a standard broadcast or full frame movie in this mode, the 4:3 Aspect Ratio (1.33:1 source) display image is stretched horizontally on the left and right sides to fill the TV screen. The center of the image is not stretched.

Note: Viewing modes are saved based on input. For example, you lasted watched a DVD in widescreen mode and then watched TV in standard mode. When you switch back to DVD input, the viewing mode will return to widescreen.

4.18.2 Using PIP/POP Feature
When using PIP/POP mode, the following screens will appear depending on the type of signal input being used: TV refers to the input commonly called RF (coaxial) connector. It carries audio and video through a single cable and connector.

AV refers to the inputs commonly called RCA
(composite cables) connectors, on this TV set there are two inputs, AV1 and AV2; one (AV1) of which has what is called S-Video connector besides the RCA connector. The image signal put through S-Video cable will take priority when connected to this input. Make sure to leave the audio (red and white) cables in place since only the video or image is carried through this cable.

Version 10/4/2007

60 www.VIZIO.com VIZIO GV52L FHDTV10A User Manual

Component refers to the inputs commonly labeled and known as Y (Green color coded connector) Pb/Cb
(Blue color coded connector) Pr/Cr (Red color coded connector). Even thought, these cables have what is commonly called RCA connectors at the ends; they will be easily identified since they are color coded Red,
Green and Blue. There are two sets of component inputs in your TV set; labeled Component1 and
Component2. Be aware that these cables inputs will require an extra set of audio (red and white) cables to complement the video or image signal carried through these three (red, green and blue) cables. Often these inputs are mistakenly referred to by their colors (red, green and blue) which technically do not have any correlation to the functionality of these inputs.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) refers to the inputs (HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3 and HDMI4) through which a high definition (audio and video combined) signal is transmitted using a single cable. Your TV comes equipped with four HDMI inputs, one of which will allow the user to input a signal out of a DVI (Digital Video Interface) source into the TV set. Since DVI is a video only type of signal, a set of audio (red and white) cables is needed to complement the picture.

RGB most commonly known as VGA (due to the type of connector and adopted from the beginning of the personal computer industry jargon) connection; VGA
(Video Graphics Adapter) is mainly designed to have a computer signal fed into the TV set through this input (the name of the connector itself, is DB15; and it has been standardized by computer manufacturers).
As you can deduce, this signal will require a separate audio, and your TV set comes with a 1/8” stereo jack to connect the audio signal out of the computer to the
TV set.

The above five pictures correspond to the five different types of inputs which come built into this TV set.
The brief descriptions of these pictures would allow you to have an idea of what kind of audio/video equipment or signal sources could be fed into your TV set and the chart on page 58 gives you the different combinations to use this feature. Enjoy it !!!

There appears to be image quality issues.

For best image quality, view HD wide screen programs where possible. If HD content is not available view “Standard Definition” from a digital source. Standard, analog TV will always be noticeably inferior to HD because your digital flat panel TV has video that is many times better than old TV’s and so you can see interference and deficiencies you did not know you had.

You cannot see a picture.

Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.
Make sure that the power button is turned on.
Make sure that the selected input source is connected to a working input source.
If your TV is connected to your computer in RGB or HDMI mode, press any key on your keyboard to “wake” your computer.

You see a distorted picture or hear unusual sound.

You may be getting interference from electrical appliances, cars, motorcycles, or fluorescent lights. If you have not mounted it on the wall, try moving your TV to another location to see if this is the cause of the problem.

The picture has abnormal patterns. Make sure that the input source cable is attached securely and correctly to the back of your TV.
Make sure that the video input source is within the range of your TV. Compare the video input source’s specifications with your TV specifications.

The display image does not cover the entire screen.

If you are using RGB mode, make sure that H Size and V Position in the On Screen
Display (OSD) are set correctly.
If you are using TV, AV1, AV2 or Component with 480i input, use the WIDE button on the remote control to scroll through various screen modes.

You can see a picture but you cannot hear sound.

Make sure that the volume is not turned down.
Make sure that the sound is not muted.
Make sure that your audio input source cables are connected securely and correctly.

The TV has pixels that are always dark or colored.

Your LCD HDTV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your LCD HDTV may not display.
Pixel defects within industry specifications are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a defective product.

You see “noise” or “trash” on the screen.

When your LCD HDTV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is up-converted (increased) to match your TV’s display capabilities. Upconverting can cause noise or trash.

You switch to a different input and the volume changes.

The TV remembers the volume level from the last time you adjusted it. If the sound level is higher or lower from another source, then the loudness will change.

Version 10/4/2007

Problem

Solution

You switch to a different input and the screen size changes.

The TV remembers the viewing mode from the last time you used a particular input
(AV1, AV2, Component 1, Component 2, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, HDMI 4 and
TV).

Tips for High-Definition Users.

The LCD HDTV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content.
Best Image Quality will be achieved by the HDMI Input, then YPbPr, then RGB.
However, due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image distortions can occur.

Tips for Letterbox Content
Users.

Letterboxed (or “Widescreen”) versions of DVD movies are most commonly formatted for standard 4:3 Televisions. The LCD HDTV has the capability of expanding this content so the entire screen is filled at the expense of image accuracy. To use this function, press the “ZOOM” key on the remote control and cycle among the available options.

6.2 Glossary – Standard Definitions
Analog TV: Today’s TV system using radio frequency waves to transmit and display pictures and sound.
Aspect Ratio (4x3): Traditional TV “aspect ratio”, that is, the screen’s width as compared to its height.
For example, a “32 inch TV screen” would be 25 inches wide and 19 inches tall.
Aspect Ratio (16x9): “Wide screen TV” aspect ratio which is more like a movie screen than a traditional
TV. For example, a “32 inch TV screen” would be 28 inches wide and 16 inches tall.
Digital TV (DTV): Television delivered and displayed using radio frequency waves that contain information that is digitally encoded for improved quality and efficiency.
Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV): A better digital television transmission than SDTV with at least 480P, in a 16x9 or 4x3 display and Dolby digital surround sound. 480P is the quality used by most DVD players.
EDTV provides 300-400,000 pixels.
HDTV Monitor (sometimes called HDTV Ready): A set that can display HDTV programming if you have a separate HDTV tuner, HD Cable Set-Top Box or HD Satellite Set-Top-Box Receiver.
HDTV Tuner (also decoder, receiver, set-top box): A device capable of receiving and outputting HDTV signals for display. It may be stand-alone or integrated in the set.
High-Definition Television (HDTV): The best quality picture, wide screen (16x9) display with at least
720 progressively scanned lines (720P) or 1080 interlaced lines (1080i) and Dolby digital surround sound.
HDTV provides 900,000-2.1 million pixels.
Integrated HDTV: An HDTV that has the digital tuner built into the set. It does not need a separate settop box to receive over-the-air DTV signals.
Interlace Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the odd lines first, then filling the in the even lines (this happens instantaneously).
Plug-and-Play or Digital Cable Ready: A DTV or other device for digital cable consumers that plugs directly into the cable jack and does not require a separate set-top box. Plug-and-Play TV owners must obtain a CableCARD from their cable company in order to view scrambled programming services.
Progressive Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the lines consecutively
(progressively).
Standard Definition TV (SDTV): Basic digital television transmission that may be displayed with fewer than 480 progressively scanned lines (480P) in 16 x 9 or 4 x 3 format. 480 interlaced (480i) is the quality of today’s analog TV system.

Bad Bug Book

...Bad Bug Book   Handbook of Foodborne Pathogenic Microorganisms and Natural Toxins                                              Introduction  Food safety is a complex issue that has an impact on all segments of society, from the general public to government, industry, and academia. The second edition of the Bad Bug Book, published by the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, provides current information about the major known agents that cause foodborne illness. The information provided in this handbook is abbreviated and general in nature, and is intended for practical use. It is not intended to be a comprehensive scientific or clinical reference. Under the laws administered by FDA, a food is adulterated if it contains (1) a poisonous or otherwise harmful substance that is not an inherent natural constituent of the food itself, in an amount that poses a reasonable possibility of injury to health, or (2) a substance that is an inherent natural constituent of the food itself; is not the result of environmental, agricultural, industrial, or other contamination; and is present in an amount that ordinarily renders the food injurious to health. The first includes, for example, a toxin produced by a fungus that has contaminated a food, or a pathogenic bacterium or virus, if the amount present in the food may be injurious to health. An example of the second...

All these matters are important. Concise treatment of them may be found in THE CENTURY HANDBOOK OF WRITING and THE CENTURY DESK BOOK OF GOOD ENGLISH, both of which manuals are issued by the present publishers. But this volume confines itself to the one task of placing at your disposal the means of adding to your stock of words,...
