Vizio - SmartCast Setup

SmartCast devices are intended to be part of a connected environment. You can use the SmartCast Home Theater Display to watch content from a set top box, Blu-ray player, or other HDMI compatible device; however, the functionality and features will be limited if you do not have internet access.

What do I need to set up my SmartCast Home Theater Display?

• A SmartCast Home Theater Display / SmartCast HDTV
• An internet connection
• A control device (tablet, smartphone, or other smart device) with the VIZIO SmartCast App. (Only P Series Home Theater Displays currently come with a VIZIO tablet. This tablet comes with the SmartCast Application pre-installed)

How do I setup my SmartCast Home Theater Display / SmartCast HDTV?

1. Connect the power cord to an electrical source and to the VIZIO SmartCast Home Theater Display / SmartCast HDTV.
2. Power on the SmartCast Home Theater Display / SmartCast HDTV
3. Power on the VIZIO Tablet or other control device. If you are using a VIZIO Tablet that came bundled with the TV the setup procedure will automatically launch. If you are using the VIZIO SmartCast Application on a non-VIZIO device, you will need to open the Menu, and select Setup New Device.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.

My tablet/phone won't pair with my SmartCast Home Theater Display / SmartCast HDTV
