The volume on my new Vizio 42" flat screen goes up and down drastically, whereas it doesn't on any other tv I own. I am wondering if there is a reason for this? It's not on HD channels. I just bought the tv so I'm not sure if this is normal or if there are sound settings I need to adjust.

SOURCE: Vizio flat screen has very red tint when using HDTV component cables

Sounds like you may have connected the cables incorrectly, or the cable may me bad. The cable company likely provided you with component video cables, which are red green and blue. Ensure that these are connected to the correct plugs on both ends of the cables.

If that does not fix the issue, I would ask for a replacement cable or box.

You may also be interested in buying an HDMI cable if your box supports it.

SOURCE: how do I get from 480 to 1080p on my tv?

1080P is a quality you'll only get with a blue ray quality video. Therefore, you won't get 1080P on cable tv. If your cable provider has HD channels available, you'll be able to get 720 or 1080i quality video (on those channels only). For the best quality, make sure you are using an HDMI cable. Just be sure your cable box supports an HDMI output. Your Vizio definately supports that type of input. If you have a PS3 or alternative blue ray player, you'll be able to watch 1080P.

SOURCE: Lost volume on 42

These some use an EPROM IC pre-programmed, and like the pre-RCA, we went through many of these chips which just plug in and out, and sell wholesale from Main Electronic's in Vancouver BC Canada for $5.89 APPROX

Volume goes up, picture freezes, tv reboots

Sounds like a surge to me. Why not give Vizo call to see if anyone else is reporting the same problems. It's a fantastic tv.

We have dish network. the problem is the picture doesn't fill the screen. it just shows up in a small box. what can i try?

On your DISH remote press the format button with an asterisk on it if this doesn't correct the issue try the page up and page down buttons to the right of the volume. If neither of these correct the issue reply with your receiver model number and we can go from there!

What is the problem with the Vizio TV volume, it seems that when I am watching a show the volume goes up and down; it just blast up, especially when commercials come on.

There is nothing wrong with your TV. The loud commercials are to catch your interest before you leave the room for another snack or beer. You are not alone here, all other brands of TV will act the same. You may opt into the menu settings and seek an automatic volume control for commercials. Many TVs will have one. Not all, but just some. Thanks for asking and show a few hands of support!

The screen on our 42" flat screen vizio tv is broken ...can I just buy a new screen for it or will I have to buy a new tv?

Screens are very expensive....sometimes you can retro-fit (AKA cross brand) a new screen *OR USED*....in general you are better off posting to *bay for a small amount of funds for a new purchase....depending on your location, but I buy these sort of things all the time for parts...

I have a Vizio 42' and a cable box and there's a constant humming

I think I had the same problem. This is how I fixed it.

I have my vizio 42 hooked up to a Harmon Kardon surround sound, and the digital cable box. Essentially, I can adjust the volume 3 ways - through the tv, cable box or av receiver. The humming sound happens when you have the volume maxed out on the av receiver and not the cable box.

For example, the sound level on my Harmon Kardon goes from -10 (lowest) to 10 (loudest), with 0 being the middle ground. The buzzing was happening when the Harmon Kardon was set to 10, and I was using the cable box volume to adjust the sound. To fix it, I turned down the volume on my receiver to 0, which may be about 50% max volume of the receiver. Then, I switched devices and used the volume on my cable box. This got rid of the static I was getting. Hope that helps.

Vizio 42'' TV Sounds like it is in a metal tube.

The volume was up on the TV, but down on the cable box remote. By raising both volumes the sound quality improved dramatically.
