grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug
has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide
blade or the third prong are provided for your safety.
If the provided plug does not fit fully into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,

have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.

15. If an outside antenna is connected to the television
equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built up static charges. In the U.S. Selection 810-21 of the National Electrical Code provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the leadin wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge

• When removing the feet, use a working space that is
larger than the screen size. The work surface must be
flat and covered with a soft cloth or blanket to protect
the screen surface.

CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE PLASMA TV

CARING FOR THE PLASMA TV

The surface of the cabinet can be damaged if not properly
maintained. Many common household aerosol sprays,
cleaning agents, solvents, and polishes will cause permanent damage to the fine surface.
1. Unplug the power cord before cleaning the Plasma
TV.

Do not bump or scratch the panel surface as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.
Do not display a still image on the screen for a long time.
Otherwise, an afterimage or ghost may appear on a part
of the panel. To prevent this symptom, use the “Screen
Saver” function of the Plasma TV. See page 26.

2. Gently wipe the screen and cabinet with dry soft
cloth.

There may be some tiny black points and/or blight points
on the Plasma Display Panel. These points are normal.

The screen is likely to be damaged if it is not maintained
properly. Do not use hard objects like a hard cloth or
paper. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

NOTES: Never spray liquids on the
screen.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or
any volatile substances to clean
the Plasma TV. These chemicals
may damage the cabinet finish.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
CHILD SAFETY
Sanyo is committed to making home entertainment safe and enjoyable. Always
use an appropriate table or stand when positioning your TV. Use appropriate
brackets, braces, or straps to anchor your furniture in place. But never screw
anything directly to the television.
Do not place televisions on dressers, shelves, desks, carts, etc. where curious
or excited children could pull, push, or otherwise cause the unit to fall and
cause personal injury.

VIDEO

Never place toys or other items on top of the TV that could pique children’s
curiosity causing them to climb about the furniture.
Always use stands that are designed to support the size and combined weight
of your television and other electronic devices.

POSITIONING PRECAUTIONS
• Place this Plasma TV as indicated here. Failure to do so
may result in a fire hazard. Allowing the proper amount
of space at the top, sides, and rear of the Plasma TV
cabinet is critical for proper air circulation and cooling of
the unit. The dimensions shown here indicate the
minimum space required. If the Plasma TV is to be built
into a compartment or similarly enclosed, these
minimum distances must be maintained.

• Do not cover the ventilation slots on the Plasma TV.
Heat build-up can reduce the life of your Plasma TV, and
can also be dangerous.

• If the Plasma TV is not to be used for an extended
period of time, unplug it from the power outlet.

Removing the Plasma Feet
Remove two (2) screws from each foot bracket, then slide
the feet out of the brackets.

NOTES: If you do not have a VCR, connect signal directly to TV 75 ohm
terminal (UHF/VHF/CATV).

If you move the TV to a new location, press the RESET key
twice after connecting the signal and turning on the TV.

TV will automatically select an Antenna mode for the type
of Analog RF signal connected (Antenna or Cable).

Use “Antenna Selection” in the Setup menu to change
the Antenna Mode, if necessary, see page 18.

The only resolution available with any of these analog connections,
regardless of the original content, is standard analog (SDTV).

When tuned to an analog channel, the TV will switch off
automatically after 15 minutes if there is no signal reception (cable out or station not broadcasting).
Exception—When the Video mode is selected, the TV will
not automatically switch off when signal reception has
stopped for 15 minutes.

INSTALL BATTERIES
IMPORTANT NOTE: Spent or discharged batteries must be recycled or
disposed of properly in compliance
with all applicable laws. For detailed
information, contact your local County
Solid Waste Authority.

• Install two “AAA” Batteries (not included) so that the
“+” and “–” marks on the batteries match the “+” and
“–” marks inside the Remote.
To review the remote control functions, go to pages 14~15.

AUTO DATE AND TIME SETTING
(OPTIONAL)

NOTES: Channel information found during channel search is
stored in two Channel Scan Memory databases
(Analog and Digital). After channel search is completed,
the TV will tune to the lowest Digital channel or lowest
Analog channel if no digital channels are found.

If an analog channel was found during channel search, the
TV will begin Auto Date and Time setting. This feature
searches for a local PBS station that is broadcasting Date
and Time data. These data are used to automatically set
the date and time. (This may take several seconds.)

If the TV does not detect any digital or analog channels,
a message advising the viewer to check the cables and
antenna connections will appear. In this case, you must
press the CHANNEL UP key again to repeat the
channel search process. If after two searches the TV still
fails to detect any channels, the TV will tune to analog
channel 3. These two channel searches are required
even if you plan to use the TV only as a monitor.

After the Date and Time are set, the lowest Digital
channel (or lowest Analog channel if no active digital
channel is stored in the Channel Scan Memory) will be
tuned.

If no analog or digital channels are found after the
second search, Channel Search will default to off-air
analog channels 2 through 69 and digital channel D3-1.
Select analog channels using the remote control
keypad. See page 14, item number 2.

To cancel auto Date and Time setting, press the
CHANNEL UP key. To set the Date and Time manually,
see page 24.

ANTENNA SELECTION (OPTIONAL)

To change the initial analog tuning system setup (from
antenna to cable or cable to antenna), use the on-screen
menu. See “Antenna Selection” on page 18.

GLOSSARY OF CABLE TYPES

The on-screen menu system provides the viewer with easy access to
adjustments and settings. Just use the MENU, CURSOR, ENTER, and
EXIT keys on the remote control and follow the on-screen instructions.
Generally, you will use the CURSOR keys to highlight or select a

SUB MENUS

ANALOG MAIN MENU
IMPORTANT FACTS:
This TV has two distinct menu
systems, one for Analog signals and
one for Digital signals. Therefore,
menu options will vary according to
the signal being received (Analog or
Digital). The Menu Navigation Map
shown here indicates available
Digital options. Analog menu
options vary slightly. When a specific
menu (digital or analog) is required
for an adjustment, it is specified in
the setup instructions.
If you press the MENU key while
tuned to an Analog channel (or
signal), the Analog Main menu will
appear. If you press the MENU key
while tuned to a Digital channel (or
signal), the Digital Main menu will
appear. (Press the TUNER key to
switch quickly between Digital and
Analog channels.)
Also, some options are not available
in combination. Unavailable options
will appear “grayed-out” in the
menu. For example, after a Digital
Cable Search, Digital Add-on Search
will be “grayed-out” because that
option is not supported for Digital
Cable Channels.
The TV will exit the Menu system if
30 seconds elapse between entries.
