IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION: PLEASE READ AND OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUC- TIONS CONTAINED HEREIN AND THOSE ON YOUR APPLIANCE. RETAIN

THIS UTERATURE FOR REFERENCE.

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. However, improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this unit, observe the following basic

rules for its installation, use and servicing. Your appliance is fully transistorized and does not contain any user serviceable components.

Removal of the cabinet cover may expose you to dangerous voltages.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

After unpacking the appliance, examine it carefully for possible damage. If any damage is detected, do not plug the appliance into outlet. Contact your

salesperson or technician.

This appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indi- cated on the unit or as indicated in this Owner's Manual. If you are not sure

of the type of power supply in your home, consult your salesperson or your local power company. For appliances designed to operate from battery

power, refer to the operating instructions.

3. The design of many appliances does not require a polarized AC line plug (one blade wider than the other). However, if your appliance is equipped with

a polarized AC line plug, it is a safety feature which prevents the plug being inserted incorrectly. If you have difficulty inserting the plug, try reversing it. If

the plug still does not fit fully into the outlet, contact your electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of this

polarized plug.

Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for

ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be covered with a cloth or other material, and the bottom open-

ings should not be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This appliance should never be placed near or over a radiator

or heat register. This appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

Do not drop or push objects into cabinet slots or openings. Some internal

parts carry hazardous voltages and contact may result in electrical shock hazard. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR YOUR ANTENNA AND SET AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS.

6. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna sys- tem is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and

built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding

electrode.

(NEC ART 250. PART H)

NEC - NA_ONALSUECTmCALCOOS

"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 and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of

cable entry as practical."

7. Do not expose the appliance to rain or use near water...for example, near a bathtub, swimming pool, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, etc. Before clean- ing, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Do not apply liquid cleaners or

aerosol cleaners directly to the unit. Use a damp cloth for clearing.

8. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead

power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall int0 such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system ex-

treme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits

as contact with them might be fatal.

9. If an indoor antenna is used (built into the set, or installed separately) never let any part of the antenna touch other electrical equipment, such as metal parts of a lamp, audio equipment, etc.

10. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the set is left unat- tended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet

and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the set due to lightning or power line surges.

11. Do not place your appliance on an unstable cart, stand, shelf or table. Serious injury to an individual, and damage to the appliance, may result if it

should fall. Your sales person can recommend approved carts and stands or shelf and wall mounting instructions.

An appliance and cart combina- tion should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to

overturn.

12. Never add accessories that have not been specifically designed for use with this appliance.

13. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate the appliance where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

14. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or

electric shock.

15. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified

service personnel under the following conditions:

A. if the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

B. If liquid has been spilled into the appliance. C. If the appliance has been exposed to rainor Water.

. D. If the appliance has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

E. If the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance. F. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore

the appliance to normal operation.

16. Upon completion of any service or repair, request the service technician's assurance that only Factory Authorized Replacement Parts that have the

same characteristics as the original parts were used, and that routine safety

checks have been performed to determine that the appliance is in safe operating condition. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical shock, or other h_.ards.

TO THE OWNER

As the owner of a Sanyo Remote Control Color Television, you are probably

eager to try out your television. Before you do, we suggest that you spend a little time reading this manual to familiarize yourself with the operating proce-

dures, so that you will receive maximum enjoyment from the many features

included on your television.

This owner's manual is to acquaint you with your television's features. Reading

it will help us, too. Through the years, we have found that many service requests were not caused by problems with our televisions. Theywere caused by problems that could have been prevented if the owner had followed the

instructions in the manual.

You can often correct operating problems yourself. If your television fails to work properly, locate the operating problem in the Helpful Hints Chart on

pages 19 and 20, then try the solutions marked for each problem.

UNPACKING AND POSITIONING THE TV

After you have carefully removed the television and owner's manual package from the shipping carton, save the carton until you are sure that the television is

not damaged. Report any damage, to the store from which it was purchased.

In the owner's manual package, you should find the following items:

- Remote Control - Antenna Adapter _:

Position your television where direct light from lamps or windows does not fall on the screen. Soft, indirect room lighting is best. Viewing in a room that is too

bright or too dark can cause eye strain. A comfortable viewing distance, usually six feet or more, is recommended.

Do not place your television too close to the wall or in a confined area. The electronic parts need normal air circulation for reliable long life.

CONNECTING THE POWER

Plug the power cord into a convenient wall outlet that has standard house power (120 volts AC, 60 Hz). As a safety feature, the plug has one blade wider than the other and fits only one way into a standard electrical outlet. If it does not fit, try turning it over. if the plug will not fit either way, the outlet is probably

,old and nonstandard. In that event, a new outlet should be installed by a

qualified electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the plug.

If the television is not going to be

used for a long period of time, it is advisable to unplug it from the power

outlet.

CONNECTING ANTENNAS

The proper type of antenna is required to obtain the best possible picture on

this television. If you plan to install your own outdoor antenna, see pages 3-5 "Important Safeguards." If you are using an existing outdoor antenna, inspect the antenna and the lead-in wire for weathering effects. Weathering can greatly

reduce the efficiency of an outdoor antenna.

NOTE...

The television is designed to switch off automatically after 15 minutes if a signal is not being received. ..,

CONNECTING ANTENNA SIGNALS (UHF/VHF/CATV)

Your TV is equipped with a 75.0. (Ohm) combination UHF/VHF/CATV antenna

input terminal. Many different antenna signal systems can be connected to your

TV using various antenna equipment.
