Speaker problem
I have a new vizio 40 inch tv but the sound is lousy, I have two speakers from an old grant record player and they plug into the back of the vizio ok, but there is NO Amplifier and its real low. How can i get the external speakers to work on the tv. Is there a small amplifier i can connect it too to make it work? Thanks

The speakers they use are high efficiency and the TV's don't have much audio power.
There are many audio amps that can take care of that problem.
You could spend hours checking them out on sites like amazon.
I left a link to just one amp that would work fine for you...... Stereo amplifier

THIS SPEAKER FITS IN THE HOLES IN THE BACK OF MY VIZIO TV. WHEN I GET THE AMPLIFIER YOU MENTIONED WILL IT WORK WITH THIS SPEAKERS, NOTICE THE REGULAR SPEAKER PLUG.

Tom.... you plugged those speakers in to the LINE output jacks.
You need to look for a speaker output jack. It may be a 1/8" (3.5mm) earphone jack.
Post the model number of the TV.

Pjmax the Vizio 40 inch Model is #D40F-G9. It does not have headphone speaker jack in the back. does that matter?

Correct. Checked the manual..... you don't have an earphone jack.
That means you need to stick with an audio amp or sound bar for external audio.
If you do go with the separate amplifier..... the input to the amp connects to the output of the TV.
Depending on the speaker connections.... you may need to cut off those RCA plugs and use bare wires.
Don't forget to check with friends and relatives.... many people have old receivers collecting dust that you could also use.

I have a 40" Vizio too..... the sound is crap and no adjustment helped it.
It appears that they save the money by scrimping on the audio system. It's only a $200 TV.
You can select "aspect ratio" in programming which affects picture size. Mine has a button on the remote that can change picture size to fill the screen too.

CHANGING THE SCREEN ASPECT RATIO
To change the screen aspect ratio:
Menu > System > Aspect Ratio Use the Arrow buttons to highlight the aspect ratio you wish to view and press OK. Your TV can display images in different modes: Normal, Stretch, Wide, Zoom, and Panoramic.
• Normal (default) – No change to aspect ratio.
• Stretch – When the 16:9 signal is a 4:3 image with black bars left and right, stretches to fill the screen.
• Wide – Stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio to fill 16:9 screen. If a 16:9 image, adds black bars to top and bottom.
• Zoom – Expands image both horizontally and vertically by 14%.
• Panoramic* - Stretches a 4:3 image to fill 16:9 screen with an algorithm so the center doesn’t look stretched
