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

CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANINGTHE PLASMATV
CARING FORTHE PLASMATV
Do not bump or scratch the panel surface as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.
The surface of the cabinet can be damaged if not properly
maintained. Many common household aerosol sprays,
cleaning agents, solvents, and polishes will cause perma-
nent damage to the fine surface.
1. Unplug the power cord before cleaning the Plasma
TV.
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 “Screen
Saver” function of the Plasma TV. See page 26.
2. Gently wipe the screen and cabinet with dry soft
cloth.
There may be some tiny black points and/or blight points
on the Plasma Display Panel. These points are normal.
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 TV. These chemicals
may damage the cabinet finish.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
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.
A
S
VID
EO
IN
L-A
UDI
O-R
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.
POSITIONING PRECAUTIONS
• Place this Plasma TV 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 TV
cabinet is critical for proper air circulation and cooling of
the unit. The dimensions shown here indicate the
minimum space required. If the PlasmaTV 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 TV.
Heat build-up can reduce the life of your PlasmaTV, and
can also be dangerous.
• If the Plasma TV is not to be used for an extended
period of time, unplug it from the power outlet.
Removing the Plasma Feet
Remove two (2) screws from each foot bracket, then slide
the feet out of the brackets.

Then press CHannel UP key.
«
Then press the CHANNEL UP key to automati-
cally search for available channels: Digital
(ATSC) and Analog (NTSC).
AUTO DATE ANDTIME SETTING
If an analog channel was found, the TV will
start Auto Clock Setting (see step 5).
NOTES: Channel information found during channel search is
stored in two Channel Scan Memory databases
(Analog and Digital). After channel search is completed,
the TV will tune to the lowest Digital channel or lowest
Analog channel if no digital channels are found.
(OPTIONAL)
5
If an analog channel was found during channel search, the
TV will begin Auto Date and Time setting. This feature
searches for a local PBS station that is broadcasting Date
and Time data. These data are used to automatically set
the date and time. (This may take several seconds.)
If theTV does not detect any digital or analog channels,
a message advising the viewer to check the cables and
antenna connections will appear. In this case, you must
press the CHANNEL UP key again to repeat the
channel search process. If after two searches theTV still
fails to detect any channels, the TV will tune to analog
channel 3. These two channel searches are required
even if you plan to use the TV only as a monitor.
After the Date and Time are set, the lowest Digital
channel (or lowest Analog channel if no active digital
channel is stored in the Channel Scan Memory) will be
tuned.
To cancel auto Date and Time setting, press the
CHANNEL UP key. To set the Date and Time manually,
see page 24.
If no analog or digital channels are found after the
second search, Channel Search will default to off-air
analog channels 2 through 69 and digital channel D3-1.
Select analog channels using the remote control
keypad. See page 14, item number 2.
ANTENNA SELECTION (OPTIONAL)

To change the initial analog tuning system setup (from
antenna to cable or cable to antenna), use the on-screen
menu. See “Antenna Selection” on page 18.

TV ADJUSTMENT AND SETUP
BASIC MENU OPERATION
The on-screen menu system provides the viewer with easy access to
adjustments and settings. Just use the MENU, CURSOR, ENTER, and
EXIT keys on the remote control and follow the on-screen instructions.
Generally, you will use the CURSOR ꢁꢀ keys to highlight or select a
menu item and the CURSOR
keys to make an
MENU
ENTER
adjustment. The ENTER key is used to confirm a setting,
when necessary, and to select the next field. After you
have completed your adjustments, press the EXIT key to
return to normal TV viewing.
DIGITAL MAIN MENU
On-screen menu options will vary depending on the input
signal type (Analog or Digital). Most adjustment options
are common to both Digital and Analog menus, in those
cases the Digital menu will be shown in the adjustments.

ANALOG MAIN MENU
IMPORTANT FACTS:
This TV has two distinct menu
systems, one for Analog signals and
one for Digital signals. Therefore,
menu options will vary according to
the signal being received (Analog or
Digital). The Menu Navigation Map
shown here indicates available
Digital options. Analog menu
options vary slightly. When a specific
menu (digital or analog) is required
for an adjustment, it is specified in
the setup instructions.
If you press the MENU key while
tuned to an Analog channel (or
signal), the Analog Main menu will
appear. If you press the MENU key
while tuned to a Digital channel (or
signal), the Digital Main menu will
appear. (Press the TUNER key to
switch quickly between Digital and
Analog channels.)
Also, some options are not available
in combination. Unavailable options
will appear “grayed-out” in the
menu. For example, after a Digital
Cable Search, Digital Add-on Search
will be “grayed-out” because that
option is not supported for Digital
Cable Channels.
The TV will exit the Menu system if
30 seconds elapse between entries.
