# How to Register Your VIZIO Smart TV at vizio.com/setup

> Learn how to link your VIZIO Smart TV to your VIZIO account at vizio.com/setup by entering the 6-digit PIN displayed on your TV screen.

Registering your VIZIO Smart TV links it to your VIZIO account, activating your warranty, enabling SmartCast features, and unlocking personalized content recommendations. To complete setup, you'll need the 6-digit PIN displayed on your TV screen and a VIZIO account — or the option to create one for free during the process.

## Before You Begin

<Note>
  Make sure you have the following before starting:

  * A powered-on VIZIO Smart TV
  * An internet-connected device (phone, tablet, or computer)
  * A VIZIO account, or be ready to create one free at [vizio.com](https://www.vizio.com)
</Note>

## Steps to Register

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Visit vizio.com/setup">
    On your phone, tablet, or computer, open a web browser and go to [vizio.com/setup](https://www.vizio.com/setup).
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirmation">
    Your TV is now linked to your VIZIO account. You'll see a confirmation message on both the website and your TV screen.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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

<Accordion title="PIN not showing on screen">
  If no PIN appears, navigate to **Menu > Help > System Info** to locate the code. If it's still not visible, restart your TV and wait for the PIN to display again on the home screen or setup wizard.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Why am I seeing an invalid PIN error?">
  PINs expire after **10 minutes** for security. If you see an invalid PIN error, return to your TV and navigate back to **Menu > System > Connected TV Store** to generate a fresh code, then re-enter it at vizio.com/setup.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can't sign into VIZIO account">
  If you've forgotten your password, visit [vizio.com](https://www.vizio.com) and select **Forgot Password** to reset it via email. Alternatively, you can create a new VIZIO account for free and complete the registration with that.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="What if my TV is already registered to another account?">
  If your TV shows as already registered to another account, contact **VIZIO Support** directly to request that the previous account link be removed before re-registering under your own account.
</Accordion>

<Tip>
  Register your TV soon after purchase to activate your warranty and unlock all SmartCast features.
