An appli- ance 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 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 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,

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 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. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of over- head 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 contact with them might be fatal. Plug in the power cord

5. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indi-

cated 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 obso- lete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of this polarized plug. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience recepta- cles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

6. Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be

walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying par- ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience 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 clean-

ers or aerosol cleaners directly to the unit. Use a damp 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 oper- ating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified tech- nician to restore the appliance to normal operation.

9. Upon completion of any service or repair, request the service techni-

cian’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 appli- ance 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 prevent 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. EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO NATIONAL

V-GUIDE INFORMATION 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. With the introduction of “V-Chip” technology, it is now possible for Sanyo televisions to interpret MPAA 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.

ABOUT MPAA AND TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES

MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines are rating systems that provide advance cautionary information to parents about the content of movie and television programming. MPAA is a voluntary rating system used by the movie industry. TV Parental Guidelines are modeled after the MPAA ratings and were designed to be simple to use, easy to understand, and easy to find. TV Parental Guidelines contain both age-based and content-based information. 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 for about fifteen seconds at the beginning of a program and should be repeated at the beginning of the second hour of a long program. It may also appear when returning from commercials. There may be other instances when these icons will be displayed as well. Parents are encouraged to become familiar with these icons and their meanings. WHERE CAN I FIND ADVANCE NOTICE OF PROGRAM RATING Publishers of programming guides have been asked to include these ratings along with other information they publish. You can expect to find this information in newspapers, magazines, and on-screen listings and guides.

TYPES OF PROGRAMS TO RECEIVE RATING

The TV Parental Guidelines will apply to various types of TV programming, including: specials, mini-series, and movies. Sports and news shows do not currently carry guidelines. MENU MUTE

Use the CHANNEL / key and the VOLUME / keys to navigate through the menus and to make selections from the menus.

hh FrancaisV-GUIDE OPERATION Use this feature to supervise television viewing for young children. This television can be setup to automatically block programs with content you deem as inappropriate for your children to view, including: suggestive dialog, adult language, sexual situations, violence, and fantasy violence. 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 broad- cast 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.

The TV guidelines rating icon will generally appear at the upper left hand corner of your 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, Caption2, Text1, and Text2. Local broadcasters decide which captions signals to transmit. They may not choose to provide captions or may provide captions in one or all of the available modes. Caption1: This is the main mode used for program caption- ing (words match the program you are watching). Almost all broadcasters will use Caption1 to transmit program captions. 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. Text1: This mode is used to display large amounts of text. This text will appear within a black box that may be nearly as large as the TV screen. Text displayed in this manner does not generally relate to the program. These captions may be used by broadcasters to provide weather reports, community bulletins, stock quotes, etc. Text2: This is an alternative mode used to display large amounts of text. The same types of information displayed in Text1 can be displayed in Text2. Quikcap: Quikcap allows captions to toggle on and off with the Mute function. For example, the phone rings; you press the MUTE key on the remote control to block the TV sound; the captions display automatically. When you finish your conversation and press the MUTE key again to restore the sound, the captions will disappear. Quikcap displays program captions in the Caption1 mode. SETTING CAPTIONS

1. Press the CAPTION key on the remote control.

If Caption Text mode is selected and no captioned text is broadcasted, a black box may appear and remain on the TV screen. To remove this black box, set captioning to any mode other than Text1 or Text2 or press the RESET key to cancel captioning and customized settings.

When captioning is turned on, the channel display will not stay on the screen. For these displays to stay on the screen you must set Captioning to OFF. Need help? Visit our website at www.sanyoctv.com

Child Safety: It Makes A Difference Where Your TV Stands Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind: If you are like most Americans, you have a television in your home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one television. The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger televisions are popular purchases and are not always supported on the proper TV stands. Sometimes televisions are improperly secured or inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TV sets may fall over and may cause unnecessary injury. Sanyo Cares! The industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe. The Consumer Electronics Association formed the Home Entertainment Support Safety Committee comprised of television and consumer electronics furniture manufacturers to advocate children’s safety and educate customers and their families about television safety. Tune Into Safety 1 One size does NOT fit all. Use the appropriate furniture that is large enough to support the weight of your television (and other electronic components). 2 Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV). 3 Carefully read and understand the other enclosed instructions for proper use of this product. 4 Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets. 5 Avoid placing any items on top of TVs such as VCRs and remotes that may pique the children’s curiosity. 6 Remember that children can become excited while watching a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over. 7 Share our safety message on this hidden hazard of the home with your family and friends.
