SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Caution

To prevent electric shock do not use this (polarized) plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be inserted fully to prevent blade exposure.

GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS EXPLANATION

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN.

CAUTION : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK) NO PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

This lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (Servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Caution

Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

ANTENNA

Unless your TV is connected to a Cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for the best performance. However, if you are located in a strong signal area that is free from interference and ghost conditions (multipath), an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen.

Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.

NOTES

Never remove the back cover of the set. This can expose you to very high voltage and other

hazards.

If the set does not operate properly, unplug it and call your dealer or service shop.

VIEWING

This color TV may be viewed from any desired distance. Most viewers prefer a distance of three to six feet or more depending on screen size for maximum eye comfort.

INTRODUCTION

It is especially important that you read and follow the instructions under the heading : "SET-UP" on page 13.

HOW TO GET THE MOST ENJOYMENT FROM YOUR NEW COLOR TV SET

Your new Color TV incorporates a host of features designed to give you excellent performance. In addition, this model utilizes a highly sophisticated Control Microprocessor for ultimate

convenience and control in the areas of Picture Adjustment, Channel Tuning, and On-Screen display.

We therefore strongly urge that you read all of these instructions before using your TV for the first time.

Congratulations on your purchase of this Sanyo MTS stereo TruFlat

screen television.

Sanyo's TruFlat

screen offers these important benefits... Distortion-Free Images - Sanyo TruFlatTMrecreates the theater screen experience by eliminating distortion that a curved conventional TV screen produces. Wider Viewing Angle - No curves mean that the full picture can be seen from a wider seating range in your room. Less Reflection - Window and other reflections are reduced because of the curve-free design.

The speakers are front-mounted at the left and right sides of the TV screen for better stereo effect, delivering a high audio output of 30 watts (total) with surround sound modes.

REMOTE CONTROL USE

Point to remote control sensor of the TV set. The maximum operable distance is approximately 20 feet from the remote control sensor, and not more than 30

to either side of center. The operation of the remote control is most effective when there is nothing between it and the remote control sensor. The duration of the batteries is approximately 6 months to 1 year. Replace the batteries when the remote operation becomes unstable.

BATTERY INST ALLATION

The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the remote control. To access it, remove the cover by sliding it down while lifting it. Correctly install 2 AAA batteries, observing polarities as shown in the compartment. Do not use a combination of old and new batteries or different type of batteries. If batteries become exhausted, remove and replace them soon. When battery leakage occurs, clean the battery compartment with a soft cloth and replace the batteries.

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75 ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR. Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, as typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below.)

"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied)

You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV's channel keys.

"B" position on the RF switch (not supplied)

You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler using the converter's channel keys.

NOTE : An RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

ANTENNA CONNECTION

ANTENNA

The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.

The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems:

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna. A : Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna. B : Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna. Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR on the rear of the TV set.

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools.

2. A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a 75 ohm terminal through a 300-75 ohm ADAPTOR.

VIDEO/AUDIO CONNECTIONS

Prior to making any connections to your TV set, be sure to turn the POWER off. For a more detailed understanding of each connection, it is recommended that you read the instruction manual for each connected component. If you use video or audio equipment placed near the TV, picture and/or sound may become distorted due to interference between these components. In such case, separate each piece of equipment at a sufficient distance. The following shows examples for connecting external equipment. Do not connect another audio source to the same speaker to which the TV set is connected, otherwise it may damage the amplifier of the TV set or that of the other audio source.

OTHER FUNCTIONS

CCD :

This TV set incorporates a CCD (Closed Caption Decoder) to enable viewing closed captions and TEXT broadcasts. Closed caption and TEXT each has 2 channels (CH1 & CH2). Closed caption and TEXT information can only be viewed if they are being broadcast by a television station, or contained in a videotape or videodisc. Press the CCD button to select CCD mode.

CAPTION OPERATION AND CHARACTERISTICS :

After the set is turned on, caption signals will be displayed on screen (if broadcast) in about 10 seconds. Once activated, the television will always remain in caption mode unless deactivated by the CCD button. Captions appear on screen in various positions where they will least interfere with the picture. Generally captions will be displayed at the top or bottom of the screen. It is common to see unusual characters or misspelled words appearing in the caption. This is especially true during a live broadcast as captions are created while the program is in progress.

QUICK VIEW Button : Press Q.VIEW button on the remote control. The previously viewed

channel will appear on the screen. Press Q.VIEW again to switch back to the original channel. Repeatedly pressing Q.VIEW switches between these two channels.

DISPLAY BUTTON :

Press DISPLAY button on the remote control. The channel number of the program you are viewing, the TIMER settings and the current time are displayed in sequence. The current time remains displayed on the screen, until DISPLAY button is pressed again.

MUTE BUTTON : Press MUTE button on the remote control. The sound of the TV program

being viewed will be reduced to zero and "MUTE" will appear on the screen. To restore normal sound, press MUTE again.

WIDE BUTTON : This function lets you select between wide and normal screens.

Wide 16 : 9 Normal 4 : 3

NOTES

When any function is displayed on screen, captions cannot be seen. Captions will reappear

after display disappears.

Errors will occur in captioning if the signal is weak or the videotape/videodisc is poorly recorded.

A videotape that has been recorded over numerous times can also cause caption malfunction.

NOTE : Changing the audio volume also restores the sound.

V-CHIP OPERATION

WHAT IS THE V-CHIP?

The V-CHIP is a microprocessor control circuit which recognizes TV and Motion Picture Ratings. These ratings are contained in a special electronic identification signal that is part of many television programs and recorded videotapes. An on-screen menu allows the parent to set a secret 4-key combination ACCESS CODE and choose which programs are suitable for viewing, and which programs should be blocked. (Please note that we have set an initial ACCESS CODE at the factory. This initial code is VOL +, VOL +, VOL + VOL +). Once set, the television will only display those programs whose ratings fall within the standards the parent has chosen. Programs which do not fall within the standards the parent has chosen will not be displayed unless the access code is entered.

Some TV programs and movies may not be compatible with V-chip ratings.

GENERAL PROCEDURE

As shipped from the factory, the V-CHIP is not operational until you perform these procedures :

Enter your 4-key ACCESS CODE to bring up the BLOCKING MENU For initial setup, we strongly recommend that you use the factory preset ACCESS CODE of VOL +, VOL +, VOL + VOL +. Instructions on changing the ACCESS CODE are at the end of this

section. Enable Motion Picture rating and choose the Motion Picture Ratings which you wish to block. Enable TV Parental Guide Ratings and choose the TV Parental Guide Ratings which you wish to

block.

IMPORTANT NOTICE - READ BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER

We urge you to read the entire V-CHIP section of this manual and make sure you understand it throughly before proceeding further. Once chosen and enabled, programs whose ratings have been blocked CANNOT be viewed unless you enter the 4 button key combination ACCESS CODE. If you forget the Access Code, the only way that you can clear the settings is by bringing the television to an Authorized Service Center. This is NOT covered under the warranty.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INITIAL V-CHIP ACCESS CODE AS SHIPPED FROM OUR FACTORY IS VOL +, VOL +, VOL +, VOL + (Press the VOL + button 4 times).

TV-G (General audience): Most parents would find this rating suitable for all ages.

Although this rating does not signify a program designed specifically for children, most parents may let younger children watch TV-G programs unattended. It contains little or no violence, no strong language and little or no sexual dialogue or situations.

TV-PG (D/L/S/V: Parental guidance suggested): This rating contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children.

Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The theme itself may call for parental guidance and/or the program contains one or more of the following: Moderate violence (V), some sexual situations (S), infrequent coarse language (L), or some suggestive dialogue (D).

TV-Y7 (FV;Directed to older children): This program is designed for children age 7 and above.

It may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence or comedic violence that may frighten children under the age of 7. Therefore, parents may wish to consider the suitability of this program for their very young children.

NOTE

For those program where fantasy violence may be more intense or more combative than other programs in this category may be designated TV-Y7-FV.

V-CHIP OPERATION

CONTENT LABELS

TV Parental Guidelines may have one or more letters added to the basic rating to let parents know when a show contains higher levels of potentially, offensive material.

Note that the content label should be considered in light of its associated rating. For example, a "V" is likely to designate considerably more intense violence when associated with a TV-MA rated program than when it is associated with a TV-PG rated program.

V Violence D Suggestive dialogue

S Sexual situations FV Fantasy violence

L Coarse or crude indecent language

NOTE

You do not need to block each TV parental guide rating individually. The TV-Y and TV-Y7 ratings are handled as a group, and the TV-G, TV-PG, TV14, and TV-MA Ratings are handled as a group. For example, if you choose a program with a TV-14 rating, the V-chip will automatically also block TV-MA rated programs. In the same manner, passing (unblocking) the TV-MA rating would automatically also pass TV-14 rated programs. Also note that you have the option of passing or blocking programs based on their content label (D,L,S,V,FV) without necessarily blocking all programs that carry a specific rating. For example, you may pass some TV-PG programs, but not those which also carry a "V"(moderate violence) content label. In this case, the V-chip would automatically block TV-14 and TV-MA rated programs which carry the "V".

V-CHIP OPERATION

TV-14 (D/L/S/V: Parental caution recommended): This rating contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. Parents are strongly urged to exercise great care in monitoring the programs and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 watch unattended. TV-14 rated progams contain one or more of the following:

Intense violence (V), intense sexual situations (S), strong coarse language (L), or intensely suggestive dialogue (D).

TV-MA (L/S/V: Mature audience only): This rating is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17. TV-MA rated programs contain one or more of the following:

Graphic violence (V), explicit sexual activity (S), or crude indecent language (L).

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

RECEPTION DISTURBANCE

The most common types of television interference are as follows:

IGNITION :

Black spots or horizontal lines may appear ; picture may flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drills and other electric appliances.

GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.

SNOW:

If you are located on the fringes of a television reception area, the signal will be weak, and your picture may contain many small dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install an external antenna to improve the picture.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases causes loss of contrast in the picture.

PICTURE SIZE VARIATION:

A slight variation in picture size is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or BRIGHTNESS controls.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning. The finish on the receiver may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture.

Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts. Mild soap and a soft, damp cloth may be used.

NOTE

: If you subscribe to a cable service and any these symptoms appear, the problem may

be caused by the cable company.
