Fix It Yourself
Try these steps before calling. They resolve the majority of common Vizio issues.
1
Power cycle TV completely for SmartCast issues
Unplug the Vizio TV from the wall (don't just press the remote power button) for 60 full seconds. This clears the SmartCast memory and forces a full reload. Most SmartCast freezes and loading failures resolve with this step.
2
Chromecast from your phone instead of using SmartCast apps
Vizio SmartCast includes Chromecast built-in. If the native SmartCast apps are slow, use your phone to cast Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, or any Chromecast-compatible app directly to the TV — this is typically faster and more reliable.
3
Set your Vizio soundbar to HDMI ARC for best audio
In your Vizio TV settings, go to System → CEC. Enable CEC. Then set the audio output to ARC. In the soundbar, press the Input button to select ARC (HDMI). This routes all TV audio through the soundbar including streaming apps.
shield Warranty & Coverage
Vizio TVs include a 1-year limited warranty on parts and labor. Vizio's support team handles all warranty service directly. A 90-day warranty is provided on replacement or refurbished TV parts.
