Important Safety Instructions for LCD TV

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or 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, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects 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 81021 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 unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrodes.

16. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

17. The AC Adapter power supply should not be placed in a confined area. Proper ventilation is required to ensure reliable operation and to protect it from overheating

18. "Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus."

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70

CAUTION

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 television.

2. Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft dry cloth.

Note:

Never spray liquids on the screen because it can run down and drip onto

the chassis. This may cause component failure not covered under Warranty.

GETTING STARTED

Operational Tip for No Signal Connection:

If the TV is used as a monitor only, with a DVD player or some other type of external equipment, and no cable or antenna signal is available, the following setup is necessary:

Your TV is designed to automatically search for available channels. Therefore, the initial start up requires that you press the MENU key, enabling the TV to automatically go through the channel search process before you can operate the TV. After the initial channel search is completed, you must press the MENU key again to complete the channel search process. This may take several minutes.

After the channel search process is complete (2 searches), you can press the INPUT key on the remote control to use the TV as a monitor.



TV will automatically select the correct Antenna mode for the type of Analog RF signal connected automatically.

Use “Antenna Selection” in the Setup menu to change the Antenna Mode.



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.



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

Captioning is text information transmitted along with the picture and sound so it can be displayed on the TV screen. Because different types of captions can be transmitted with the TV signal, separate captioning modes are provided. The captioning modes recognized by this model are: Caption1 and Caption2. Local broadcasters decide which caption signals to transmit.

CAPTION1: This is the main mode used for program captioning (words match the program you are watching). These captions are generally one or two lines.

CAPTION2: This is an alternative mode for program captioning. Caption2 may be used by the broadcaster to provide captions in another language, such as, Spanish or French.

QUIKCAP: Allows captions to toggle on and off with the Mute function. Press the MUTE key on the remote control to block the TV sound; the captions display automatically. Press the MUTE key again to restore the sound, the captions will disappear. Quikcap displays program captions in the Caption1 mode.

NOTE: THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’S FCC V-CHIP

REGULATIONS. THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT FUNCTION WITH BROADCASTS THAT ORIGINATE IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

This Sanyo television is equipped with an electronic V-Chip to interpret MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) and TV Parental Guidelines rating codes. When these codes are detected, the TV will automatically display or block the program, depending upon choices you make when setting up the V-Guide system.

The V-Guide system contain both age-based and content-based settings. This gives parents discretionary ways of choosing appropriate material for their children to view.

Content ratings are represented by the initials D (Suggestive Dialog), L (Adult Language), S (Sexual Situations), V (Violence), and FV (Fantasy Violence). When programming contains any or all of these conditions, these letters become part of the icon that is displayed on the TV screen.

A rating icon will generally appear in the upper left hand corner of the TV screen (see page 18.)

Use this feature to supervise television viewing for young children. This television can be set to automatically block programs with content you deem as inappropriate for your children to view.

The ability of the television to block the reception of specific programming content depends upon several conditions: 1) The program must be rated, 2) Networks must broadcast the rating code data, 3) Cable companies must transmit the rating code signal, and 4) The TV must be properly setup to decode the signal.
