Steps to Register
1
Power On Your TV
Turn on your VIZIO Smart TV. If this is your first time setting up the TV, follow the on-screen setup wizard until you reach the home screen.
2
Find Your 6-Digit PIN
Navigate to Menu > System > Connected TV Store, or wait for the setup wizard to display the PIN automatically. A 6-digit code will appear on your TV screen — keep this handy for the next steps.
3
Visit vizio.com/setup
On your phone, tablet, or computer, open a web browser and go to vizio.com/setup.
4
Sign In or Create Account
Sign in to your VIZIO account. If you don’t have one yet, click Create Account and register for free — it only takes a minute.
5
Enter the PIN
Type the 6-digit code from your TV screen into the six input boxes on the vizio.com/setup page, then click Continue.

Confirmation
Your TV is now linked to your VIZIO account. You’ll see a confirmation message on both the website and your TV screen.
What Happens After Registration
Once your TV is registered, you gain access to the full VIZIO SmartCast experience — including streaming apps, voice control, and the SmartCast mobile app. Your warranty is officially activated, VIZIO support can provide remote assistance if needed, and you’ll start receiving personalized app and content recommendations tailored to your viewing preferences.Troubleshooting
