Don’t worry, thetechmamba.com has got your back and will help you in bringing your Vizio smart TV to normal mode.

How To Exit Demo Mode On Vizio TV

Let’s look at the three methods below mentioning how you can exit the demo mode on your Vizio TV with the help of a remote and even without it.

Method 1: Exit Vizio TV Demo Mode With Remote

Make sure your TV is switched OFF when you start the process. If it is not please turn OFF the TV.
Press the “Power” button on the remote to switch ON your Vizio TV.
Next, a message reading “Store Demo is launching. To cancel, press and hold the input button on the back panel or the basic remote” will be playing on the screen of your TV.
To disable the demo mode and move to the setup menu, hold the INPUT button for 10 seconds or until the message disappears.
Follow the instructions to complete setting up Vizio TV.
Once you have set up your TV, you will get access to the menu from where you can turn off Demo and the Picture Reset mode on Vizio TV.
Press the Home Button on the remote which will lead to the home screen.
Select the following options in the given sequence: Preferences/System Settings > Shop-front Display Setting > Set Demo Mode Off > Set Picture Reset Mode “Off”.

After this, you can customize your TV settings, add your favorite apps, and start scan channels on Vizio TV.

Method 2: Disable Demo Mode Without Remote

If you have misplaced your original Vizio TV remote, you can still get the TV out of demo mode using the button panel on the television.

Learn how to use your TV keys to move from the retail mode to the home mode within a few seconds.

Turn your TV on before you start with the process.
Once the TV is powered on, locate the Volume, Input, and Power buttons on your TV. They are most likely to be found on the bottom right of the TV. The volume button will help you scroll up and down the drop-down menus.
Now use the power button to turn the TV off and then on just like explained in the method using a remote.
All the other steps remain the same as in method 1.

Method 3: Turn Your Smartphone Into A Vizio TV Remote

If you have an IR blaster feature on your phone, download the remote app for Vizio TV.

This app is easily available in the Google Play Store as well as the iOS app store.

As soon as you install the app, it will start searching for ‘Available Devices. Make sure your Vizio TV is connected to the same wifi as the Mobile phone so that it can be traced by the app.
Once the app finds the TV and pairs it with it, press the ‘Remote’ tab next to ‘Devices’. It opens up a remote control similar to a Vizio remote on your mobile screen.
Use the ‘Input’ and ‘Power’ buttons on the App remote control to perform the same instructions as mentioned in Method 1.

That’s it. Your Vizio Smart TV will be exited from the Demo Mode or Retail Mode and will not return.

However, if nothing seems to work, your last resort is factory resetting the Vizio TV.

You are recommended to move to this step only if all the above methods failed to exit your TV from the Demo Mode.
