THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THIS UNIT. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: PLEASE ADHERE TO ALL WARNINGS ON THE PRODUCT AND IN THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. BEFORE OPERATING THE PRODUCT, PLEASE READ ALL OF THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. RETAIN THIS LITERATURE FOR REFERENCE. Follow all instructions... 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. 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. 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. 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 contact with them might be fatal. Plug in the power cord 5. 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. 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. 2. 6. 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. 3. Hooking Up Outdoor Antenna LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR YOUR ANTENNA AND SET AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS. 8. Service & Repair 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 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. EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70 ANTENNA LEAD IN WIRE GROUND CLAMP ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT GROUND CLAMPS POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H) ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT (NEC SECTION 810-20) GROUNDING CONDUCTORS (NEC SECTION 810-21) NEC - NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE "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." 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. 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. 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. 2 FEATURES x Trilingual SPECIFICATIONS 181 Channel Tuning System VHF Channels 2-13 UHF Channels 14-69 Cable TV (CATV) 1, 14-125 Automatic Fine Tuning VHF and Cable Channels Remote Control Large Glow-in-the-Dark basic operating keys Numbered Channel Selection Channel Scanning Volume Mute Power Recall Display Sleep Caption Reset Menu V-Guide Video Mode dbx® is a registered trademark of Carillon Electronics Corporation On-Screen Menu Channel Search x Automatic x Auto Shut Off x Closed-Captioning/QuikCap x Digital picture controls with on-screen display x MTS stereo/dbx ®/SAP Decoder x Color Enhancer x Auto Flesh Tone x Automatic picture/sound adjustments for Sports/Movie/News x Tone x V-Guide (Parental Control) x Audio/ Video Input Jacks (R/L) x Fixed x Sleep x TV PICTURE TUBE SIZE (Measured Diagonally) AVM-2550S . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25-inch screen AVM-2759S . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27-inch screen PICTURE RESOLUTION . . . . . . . . . . 260 Lines ANTENNA INPUT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Captioning is textual information transmitted along with the picture and sound so it can be displayed on the 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 captioning (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. TWO OUTS AND TWO STRIKES 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. s 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. Caption1/ Caption2 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.

THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT FUNCTION WITH BROADCASTS THAT ORIGINATE IN OTHER COUNTRIES. s QuickTips Use the CHANNEL / keys and the VOLUME / keys to navigate through the menus and to make selections from the menus. V-Guide feature is accessible only from the remote control. The TV guidelines rating icon appears in the upper left hand corner of your TV screen. The V-Guide display remains on screen for only 20 seconds. If it disappears, press the V-GUIDE key. 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. L VO TE MU V-G UID E AY PL DIS V v WER PO 1 4 PT CA NU ME T SE RE 7 5 8 0 9 P EE SL LL CA RE 2 ION 3 6 CH L VO s 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 appear in the upper left-hand corner of the TV screen for 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. s s 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. C 34 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, news, weather, emergency bulletins, locally originated programming, public service announcements, political, and religious shows do not currently carry guidelines. Rating: TVPG-V 11 V-GUIDE OPERATION QuickTips s Use this feature to supervise television viewing for children. This television can be set 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 broadcast 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 appears at the upper left hand corner of your TV screen. The TV will automatically block (B) ratings above or unblock (U) ratings below selection. For example, if you block rating R, NC17 and X will be blocked as well. Blocking TVY7 does not block higher ratings. You can block a content rating such as TVPG-V and still be able to watch TVPG programs with ratings of S-L-D provided TVPG is unblocked (U). To view Blocked (B) programs, set V-GUIDE to OFF, or press the RESET key twice to clear all Blocked (B) ratings and customized settings. When in the V-Guide menu system, the / keys allows you to navigate between the ratings and the options menu. SETTING MPAA MOVIE RATING 1.
