402011 - ..
402012 - Kathy navigated past the setup screen that failed to advance with the
402013 - original remote control received with the television on Monday.
402015 - ..
402016 - This solved the problem setting up the new television, reported on
402017 - 120206 0845. ref SDS 15 YU3L
402019 - ..
402020 - Kathy first activated the remote, and then completed setup.
402022 - ..
402023 - Decided not to configure Internet services at this time.
402025 - ..
402026 - Kathy explained this feature is for downloading movies from various
402027 - services, like Netflix, and we are not planning to use that service.
402028 - For time being don't want access to the computer from the Internet
402029 - without using the router that protects against virus attacks.
402030 -
402031 - [On 120304 0816 configured Internet connection with Vizio
402032 - support and in order to update television BIOS (firmware),

402036 - ..
402037 - We synchronized the Vizio remote control with the Comcast controller
402038 - box, even though most of the time the Comcast remote control will be
402039 - used.

402043 - especially HD channels.

402054 - control to support 3D. ref SDS 22 WX5H
402056 - ..
402057 - Turns out that the Comcast remote control also controls the television
402058 - as well wihout entering the televison code into the Comcast remote
402059 - control. This may have occurred because the Comcast remote was
402060 - prviously synchronized with the Vizio VA320M television, reported on
402061 - 091002 1314. ref SDS 1 4H8H
402062 -

402082 -
402083 - Comcast remote control turns the Vizio 32" television on and off, when
402084 - aimed at the Vizio 42" television. When OK/Enter on the Comcast
402085 - remote control is pressed to make a selection on the Vizio 42
402086 - television, it shuts the screen off on the Vizio 32", when it is in
402087 - use for a computer monitor. The only way to restore the computer
