POSITIONING THE TV
Do not position the TV in a confined area. Allow space for normal
air circulation around electronic parts.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Spent or discharged bat-
teries must be recycled or
disposed of properly in
compliance with all appli-
cable laws. For detailed

Positioning the appliance
1. 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 salesperson can
recommend approved carts and stands or shelf and wall
mounting instructions. An appliance and cart
combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination
to overturn.
2. Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the appli-
ance and to protect it from overheating, these openings must
not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be cov-
ered with a cloth or other material, and the bottom openings
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.
3. 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.
Hooking Up Outdoor Antenna
LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR YOUR ANTENNA AND SET AS PER
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO NATION-
AL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70
4. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static charges. Article 810
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides infor-
mation with respect to proper grounding of the mast and sup-
porting 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.
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 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 con-
tact with them might be fatal.
Plug in the power cord
5. This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company. This product is equipped with
a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of this polarized plug. Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in
a risk of fire or electric shock.
6. Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not like-
ly to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, conven-
ience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
product.
Cleaning
7. Before cleaning, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Do not apply
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners directly to the unit. Use a dry
cloth for cleaning.
Service & Repair
8. 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 rain or 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 adjust-
ment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the appliance to normal operation.
9. 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 hazards.
10. Never add accessories that have not been specifically designed
for use with this appliance as they may cause hazards.
11. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the set
is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will pre-
vent damage to the set due to lightning or power line surges.
12. Never push objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
