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 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
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrodes.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70
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. "Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the apparatus."
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to
Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Handle the Plasma DTV carefully when installing. Do
Not Drop.
• Locate the set away from heat, excessive dust, and
direct sunlight.
NOTE: When the Plasma DTV is not used for a long period
of time, dark dots may be observed. This is a characteristic of the Plasma display. If this occurs, turn
the Plasma DTV On and leave it on about one hour.
These dots will gradually disappear.
• Throughout the installation process, handling by more
than two people is recommended.
• 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.
• Before placing the Plasma DTV face down, make sure
there are no objects under the screen. Leaving any
object may cause damage on the screen surface.

CLEANING THE PLASMA DTV
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
DTV.
2. Gently wipe the screen and cabinet with dry soft
cloth.
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 DTV. These chemicals may damage the cabinet
finish.
CARING FOR THE PLASMA DTV
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
“Picture Rotation (Screen Saver) and White Pattern
(panel repair)” function of the Plasma DTV. See page 25.
There may be some tiny black points and/or blight points
on the Plasma Display Panel. These points are normal.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
CHILD SAFETY
Sanyo is committed to making home entertainment safe
and enjoyable. Always use an appropriate table or stand
when positioning your DTV. 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.
Never place toys or other items on top of the DTV 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 DTV 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 DTV cabinet is critical for proper air circulation
and cooling of the unit. The dimensions shown here
indicate the minimum space required. If the Plasma
DTV 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 DTV.
Heat build-up can reduce the life of your Plasma DTV,
and can also be dangerous.
• If the Plasma DTV is not to be used for an extended
period of time, unplug it from the power outlet.

TV RATING
You can block portions of a TV rating by choosing one or
more of the Content ratings (D, L, S, & V). By blocking just
the L & S content ratings of TV-14, for example, TV-14
rated programs with a D and/or V content rating could still
be viewed.
V-Guide limits on programming received via the Analog
antenna input, Digital antenna input, Video 1 input, and
any 480i signals received through the Component jacks
can be controlled by this TV.
V-Guide limits on digital programming received through
the Component jacks are controlled by the external device
connected to those jacks (such as a DVD Player or Digital
Satellite Receiver). Refer to your external device’s
owner’s manual for instructions on setting V-Guide limits.
Networks and local stations may or may not include the
content portion of the TV Parental Guidelines.
The TV will automatically block ratings above or unblock
ratings below a selection. For example, if you block TV
rating TV-PG, ratings TV-14 and TV-MA will be blocked
automatically; or if you block Movie rating PG-13, ratings
R, NC17, and X will be blocked automatically. Blocking
TVY7 does not block higher ratings.
