Sanyo TVs Reviews

Clear picture, great speakers, connects well to other devices, nice screen size unless you prefer the movie screen sized TV screens.

I bought this Sanyo 40 inch TV about 4 years ago. The television set was a great price and it was easy to move when I moved to new home. This television has been the best one I have ever owned. You should give this television set a try. It is worth every cent that you spend on it.

The TV works well and always has. I would recommend this brand to anyone. It is just that simple. Dependable, good price, extreme quality.

I bought a SANYO television (very heavy and square shaped screen) in 2005 and it has been moved to 4 different states.That TV has been dropped, bounced about in the back of U-Hauls and hit with toys by grandkids. It won't stop. Picture is great, sounds terrific. It's now in my sister's bedroom back in Oklahoma City where I bought it. Great product, We call it "the old standby".

I returned a DVD player (that was under warranty) and they send me another faulty one. I actually would not be surprised if it were the same one. Spoke to customer service 4 times. Only to get hung up on and I could not understand them. So now I have to send another faulty DVD player back, to receive a "new one". I will never buy this brand again.

Bought this TV (Flat Screen LED) from Walmart. 1 year warranty from Sanyo. It was damaged in box. Called them and at first was told that they will replace it. Now I am getting the runaround. The last CSR Jerrord wanted my e-mail password and kept asking who sent me what. They never responded thru e-mail. When I call they pull up all my info then tells me that I am not in their system, and keep lying about speaking to the next in chain of command. I am so frustrated. I will NEVER deal with SANYO after this and will tell everyone I know not to. This is not how to treat your customers... Very upset. And your customer service representatives have absolutely no clue in your products or business. They are taught to just read the prompt script and tell lies to your customers. No deals here TVs and reselling them. Some scam is going on.

Bought a Sanyo TV 43”. 11 months later it quit working. I tried all to get it to work. It was finished. Filled out warranty and sent in all required docs. That was January 10th, 2018. I was approved for a total refund. Never heard another word. I have called and talked to Jerome, 3/8 – Paola, 3/10 and 3/17, Jerrist, 3/17 and Jeff on 3/19. No one can give an answer. The last one was “it’s up with management but that is all we know." Asked for a supervisor. Was told they would call. No call. IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BUYING ANY SANYO PRODUCT DON'T!! IT WILL BE LIKE THROWING YOUR MONEY IN A BONFIRE. FAIR WARNING.

A great all around television. Still is sleek and appealing after 6 years. Never any problems and the picture is the same as when we bought it. Easy to use and instructions are clear to understand.

We bought a 60inch Aquos 4k. The price was very competitive. Setup was very simple and the tv manual was very thorough and easy to follow. There are many separate adjustments for tailor the picture quality to your liking. Switching inputs to view different source material, for example switching from a Blu-ray player to a CD player, is as simple as pressing a button on the remote.

I'm pleased with my Sanyo television. I had many models to choose from when I selected it and chose it because of its screen size and appearance. I watch television at least one hour a day and I enjoy the appearance of the screen and the sound. It is a smart TV so it automatically shuts off if I forget to sign off. It has several options listed on it such as video games, videos, Hulu, TED, etc.

We purchased our TV many years ago and it has never had any mechanical issues. The color is superior and the sound is also good. Friends and neighbors have commented on how crisp and clear our TV is.

Loved that the Sanyo TV was so big and great picture quality. It comes with all the latest features but sound not as good. Last a good amount of year and is energy efficient.

I have a Sharp 47" HD TV - not a smart TV for over 10 years and I have never had a problem with it. I use an HDMI cable to stream and it works great. The picture is clear and crisp and color is superb.

I would recommend people not to buy a Sanyo TV because they do not stand by their warranty. My TV went out 11 months after I bought it. I contact Sanyo and I did everything they asked me to do for them. They sent me a email saying they was going to replace the TV and then they did a shipping label and then a couple days later they called me and told me they wasn't going to replace the TV so don't buy any Sanyo TV.

I just bought this in November 2017. So far it's working fine (but after reading the reviews I'm concerned I might have to replace it before I'm ready). BUT I was given a sound bar for Christmas and there's no digital optical connection. I tried the analog but it wasn't working right, so no sound bar. I can't believe a new TV (Sanyo 32" LCD TV Model #FW32D06F B) doesn't have the right connection.

I purchased a 46" flatscreen TV about six years ago and have had many issues with it. The sound goes on and off and now the color is graying out. Never again will I buy a Sanyo product. I would not recommend this brand to anyone.

Is what you buy and they advertise. TV units are good. I will suggest better interaction between the units remote and the cable boxes.

You can very dependable in all aspects of performance sound. I am very thankful that there are companies that still have enough pride in their products to do it right.

I purchased a DVD player with HDMI from Walmart. I have had problems with it since the day I purchased it. I call for help and they refuse to fix it. They want me to take it to a repair place to cost me more than a new one would cost. The reviews on this player are horrible letting me know these are not properly put together. I will never purchase anything made by Sanyo again. Name break not always better.

My Sanyo TV is great... Perfect size, priced right at Wal-Mart, the color and sound are great, the resolution is good so my picture is crisp and clear. I would recommend this brand of tv to anyone.

I purchased a Vision 50" Flat Screen TV two years ago at Walmart's Black Friday Sale (2015). They ran out and had to order more, then they substituted a 55" Sanyo flat screen TV instead. I was fine with this at the time. However, in the past month my Sanyo tv has developed a dark shadow on exactly half of the right viewing side. I have only had it one year and 11 months. I work at an elementary school as a counselor and do not have the money to buy a new tv every two years. From what I have been told, however, a repair would cost almost as much as a new tv and the repair would not be guaranteed. I will never buy another Sanyo product. This product flaw is obviously widespread and the company does not seem to care. I believe a class action suit is in order.

I purchased a 55 inch Sanyo TV. This was a mistake. The TV showed very good for a while. The TV did last not one year. I called in September of this year trying to get this issue resolved. The agents everyone I talked was very rude. I was very upset because of the way I was treated. My blood pressure became elevated. An email was sent to my email address. I call the number. The number did not work. I will never purchase another Sanyo product. The TV has colored lines, the picture does not show; there is no volume. I purchased the TV at Walmart. I have a copy of the receipt. What good is it going to provide proof of purchase. I am sure I WILL never hear from anyone again.

I purchased a 32 inch back here in February and now all of a sudden the sound goes sky high to the max! Its switches its setting and when I try to use the remote I can't. I thought I had a ghost in the house! It's turning into a nightmare because it will just turn the volume up at any given time. Definitely getting a new TV asap and it won't be Sanyo.

The Sanyo television is an excellent buy. I have the type that has a VCR and DVD built into it. The only thing is if one or the other quits, I have to take the entire TV into the shop for repairs. Otherwise it's a great TV for my home styles. I would recommend this type and brand to others.

I purchased a flat screen TV for my husband as a Christmas gift Dec. 2016. Two weeks ago the TV randomly stop working and had several lines going through the TV with a snowy screen. We contacted the company concerning the warranty and was given the "damageclaims@funaisupport.com" web address. We were told to write in the subject line "Bad Panel" with the reference number **. We were then told that there would be a 48 hour turn around in response. After several days with no word we called the customer service back and was told that the information was never received. After confirming the information again and sending the pictures several days later no response.

I'm pleased with my television compared to a newer television I have for performance. My Sanyo has better volume than my LG. It's a greater sound and picture is sharp. Only problem is things transmitted in Espanol. I can't change the setting.

I bought my Sanyo in 2005. It's not a flat t.v. like the new HD t.v. 's but they call it a flat screen tv. This tv has been with me thru 7 moves, 2 storage lockers and a break in at my home. I'm guessing the thieves didn't want an old heavy model. I digress. It has been the best tv I've owned in my adult life (I'm 57) and I'm hoping to replace it with the same brand when it comes time to take this set to be recycled. I am very satisfied with my Sanyo tv. This really old tv is one tough tv. I'm so glad to have found it and have enjoyed it every time I have watched it. I can't wait to start shopping for my new HD Sanyo.

This TV meets my needs well. The size of my TV is appropriate to the size of my room. The picture quality is very good as is the sound. I've got it on a swivel mount which enables anyone to see it clearly. My only frustration is set-up & troubleshooting instructions don't work or explain problems and/or solutions properly. But on the whole I'm satisfied.

Very good quality and the price was right. It has easy to use navigation on the remote. Although the remote is a little big that is a small thing. This TV has not given me anything to be troubled about and has provided me with hours of entertainment. I would recommend this brand of TV.

The size is a good fit to my living room. I have had no problems with the brand since I purchased it. But I am fully fed up with the tone and volume of television commercials. I am hard of hearing and still have to turn down or mute the sound when commercials come on.

Sanyo 42" HD TV picture is sharp, clear, perfect color, wonderful contrast making video, and live programming enjoyable. Sanyo products are magical when viewing new animation, as well as older videos from older technology. I can honestly say there's no change in video quality, audio feedback, and I can't tell the difference between the technology of today from the technology of the 1960's. I get a perfect picture every time.

I really like my Sanyo TV and I've had other TVs from them. Also, when you find a good brand, you stick with it. And the prices are comparable too.

Usually Sanyo brand electronic televisions is not the first brand that I can think of or I usually purchase in the retail store or online these days. I am usually a Sony, RCA, or LG or even a Samsung brand purchaser especially when the item desired is a large screen television these days, simply for the loyalty factor and my loyalty to the brand over the years of having success with that brand name. But currently I rely on Sanyo's performance and quality every day of the week as I live alone and have not much else right now. It's a dependable and a great performing television for my being disabled.

The price was very good on this Sanyo TV. There are times that the screen will not be as clear, but will not last long. I am mostly satisfied with this TV.

I bought this television about 3 yrs ago and I paid only 50.00 more than what I was looking at a 32 inch. It was well worth the money since I got it on sale. It has a nice picture and it was easy to set up. I would buy this brand again if I was to buy another television.

The TV functions well and color is good. I'm happy with the picture qualities as well as the sound system is easy for the ears and doesn't have that tin sound like some TV's do.

Happy with the product's performance and it's long lasting service. I have 3 Sanyo tv's and 2 of them are 12 to 15 years old and still work great, so that is why I purchased a new Sanyo in February and I am really enjoying the new style and clarity.

My husband lost his left eye to cancer. He couldn't see our other tv so we bought him a big screen tv. I really like our tv we purchased awhile back and glad the price was ok for us. We really love it.

This product was reasonably priced, has a great picture, bright and hues which reflect actuality. Sometimes you feel you can touch the subject on the screen.

Sharpness is excellent. Occasionally, the screen skew to one side. I am not sure whether it is the projection of the movie itself when streaming is used.

I bought this television about one year ago. The picture quality is great and if you want to crank up the volume, you can. I would buy this brand again. Very pleased.

Sanyo TV has clear sound and great picture with a screen large enough to see from far away. Their large clear screen, wonderful clear picture and sound quality can't be beat except maybe by a movie screen.

Sanyo TV fits into my idea of what I needed. I can see the colors I always wanted to see and not dark ones. The picture is perfect not out of focus.

We bought this TV from Walmart at Christmas. The TV was kept in a proper environment. It wasn't left on overnight. It was kept on a proper surge protector. Sanyo Support wouldn't put their Supervisor on the phone. The TV it only worked for a total of 3 weeks and average of 45 hours. We will never buy any Sanyo Products and we are sharing this story with everyone we know and on the Social Media as well. I personally have never been so upset with customer service and support about anything in my life.

This TV is twelve years old and has never given us a minute of trouble. Maybe we got lucky and just got a good one, but, I prefer to think it's just a well made TV.

My TV is an old tube type and it is big and bulky. The screen size is way too small and it is hard to see most movies. One of these days when get enough money saved back I will get myself at least a 55 inch flat screen.

I have a 55" and 32" Sanyo... worst mistake ever! I bought the 55" in October 2016 (its March 2017); the TV won't even turn on and I've only watched 3 times total. Before I knew the 55" quit working, I purchased a 32" for my bedroom. I can't even change the channels because the cable TV guide/menu doesn't show up on the screen. It's completely to the left, off the screen! (This is how I found out my 55" doesn't work, since I can't change the channels on the 32", I went to the basement to watch the 55").

When my previous tv died I despaired of finding another one that I could afford. My son however very kindly found this Sanyo TV for me for fifty dollars in a pawnshop about five years ago and it has worked great ever since. Great standard def pic and sound and plenty big enough screen.

This one of the best TVs I've had. It is going on 4 years old and as good as the day I got it. This TV is on for almost 15 hours a day and is still going strong. It is worth every penny and truly stands up to use.

I recently purchased a Sanyo flat screen, smart tv. After about 3 months it quit powering up. It HAS power but will not turn on. Manually or via remote. I am not helpless so before I even called I plugged and unplugged the unit. Plugged other items into the outlet (wiring less than 2 years old) to check it. Customer care has been very apologetic - every time - but has been totally ineffective. 5 lengthy phone calls to them. 8 phone calls and a few visits to their "authorized repair center" in my area. They do not speak to each other at all! My tv has been at the "authorized repair center". They have argued with me repeatedly and, basically, come up with every reason NOT to work on the tv.

While our Sanyo TV works well (it's about 3-4 years old), the picture aspect ratio cannot be adjusted. Well, it can but the picture never changes size/ratio no matter what you select. More so, the annoying part is that the subtitles whenever they appear is just off from the bottom of screen, so you can only see the tips of a few letters and words. We have no idea what the subtitles are saying, and changing the aspect ratio in the menu doesn't change that at all. I'm writing this because I'm fed up with Sanyo and their defective equipment. Honestly, technology was far more reliable 20 or 30 years ago.

After purchasing this TV approximately one year to the day this TV started having major issues. Horizontal colored lines started at bottom of screen then moved to the entire screen. After contacting Sanyo who told me that the warranty had ran out approximately 3 days ago it was no longer under warranty. At this point they gave me a repair number to call that would be at my expense which would have been higher than purchasing another television. At this point I decided that's Sanyo will no longer get any of my business and I will make sure that my friends and family know just how they treat their customers, something I'm sure that they will not have much of in the future.

I have had my Sanyo 55" Plasma for about 6 yrs or more. I was looking for a solution for what I thought was a problem. It just recently started to take longer to turn on, like a minute or two. But after reading everybody's problems, my plasma has been working great. The picture is still great, but tv's start to go down hill after about 7 yrs. If the picture starts going bad slowly, you won't even really notice it, your eyes start to adjust to it. Then you see a newer TV and your flip out about how clear it is. I am going to get a LCD on my next one, which will be soon. I won't go wider, but I want one that has a little more options than what I have now. But I guess I am lucky that 1 to 2 minutes is my only problem.

Long Story Short, SANYO RESOLVED MY ISSUE. Update, my 55" tv broke within 3 months, Sanyo agrees to buy back tv. Well, this issue went on for 18 months. Well, I am VERY HAPPY TO SAY "SANYO CAME THRU AND KEPT THEIR WORD". Just receive my buy back check and back in good standing with Sanyo products!!! Waiting for black Friday and will be buying another 55" or larger tv. Thank you, Sanyo. So Long Story Short, Sanyo has me back again.

We had no complaints about the television until recently. We bought the TV in Fort Mill, SC on 01/02/15 from Walmart. Luckily we kept the receipt though it seems like it will be little help. On 10/01/16 the right side of the screen became grayed out. The image is still visible but very hard to see. In less than 2 years we're experiencing problems with a $532.86. When we attempted to call the help number on the flyer that came with the TV we couldn't reach anyone. Incredibly disappointing!

Bought a 55 inch led sanyo model fw55d25f in january of 2016. It is now june of 2016 and the tv has stopped working. Just wont come on. Of course I purchased the warranty when I bought it. So I gave them a call. They said a service tech would contact me in 2 to 5 days. I asked if they could make a note that I cant have phone calls until 630pm because that's when I get off work. They said "sure. No problem!!"

Sanyo tv makes a large volume sound - picture goes black - then returns to normal tv. Sometimes it just cut off and make work later. The noise is very loud and the tv defective. What now?

After three yrs I noticed two vertical lines on screen. One is very obvious and I think it's getting wider, the other barely noticeable. And then it developed a shadow behind the screen. Time is coming soon to replace it. Won't be a Sanyo.

Got this good deal at Walmart and now I see why. One year later it blinks out and the sound goes out. Will never buy another one. Watch out -- good deal anywhere.

Sanyo DP65E34. This is the worst TV I have ever purchased. Within 3 months pink spots started forming over white surfaces. I called Sanyo and they told me a tech would be reaching out to me to set up a repair. Several months later I sent them an e-mail again about this issue. They came back with "Good morning, We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused." If the unit has the same kind of problem even when trying to use different devices such as a DVD, Blu-ray player, game console, cable or satellite system, etc, the unit will need to be examined by a service center technician in order to determine the cause of the problem.

I, like many other consumers, purchased my 5" Sanyo Plasma TV from Wal-Mart. Now when I turn on the TV, I get neither sound nor picture. Today, I read the complaints of many other consumers who have purchased Sanyo TV's from Wal-Mart and all are frustrated about the junk that Sanyo and Wal-Mart are selling. There should be a recall on this product and Wal-Mart needs to take all of its Sanyo TVs off of it shelves because of the many similar complaint customers are experiencing.

We bought it because our old one died. It is a 50-inch Sanyo. We like it a lot. It has a great picture.

The reliability of the Sanyo TVs I have had over many years has been great - better than Sony, which once was the benchmark in quality and reliability.

I purchased my televisions in 2007 and 2008 and both are still functioning well even though they get lots of use. Neither one is a smart TV and do not have the features of the newer ones.

I'm not sure about the model/make of it, unfortunately, because the TV is terrible and it seems to be up and down on the quality of it. The volume goes up/down when it wants to and the screen doesn't stay lit.

Never a problem. Very easy to use. Nice big remote. The picture is very clear. Easy to hook up PC to TV. Stream movies to TV. Hook your iPhone up to the TV. Awesome features, so many to list.

We use our in our flea market trailer hooked to a generator. It works great, has great sound and good picture. It is a small flat screen TV. I would not trade it for anything.

Sanyo makes a good product. Have been very satisfied with TV. We have a 55 inch and it provides a large and very clear picture and we have had it 4 years with no problems. I'd recommend a Sanyo to any consumer based on our experience with this TV.

I still have my television, I went to a larger size, but my Sanyo has served me for many years, it is used in a bedroom now, I don't know the model, off hand, but I love its picture, performance and quality. I recommend the brand highly and would buy any product made by Sanyo.

Sometimes a workhorse TV is better than all the bells and whistles. The Sanyo appears to last quite a longtime. Quality: the picture is much brighter.

Our TVs are durable and put out a great picture and sound. The whole unit is sturdy and have held up even the one for our grandchildren. When we purchased the Vision TVs we were leery because we had never heard about this brand. They have performed better than we ever expected. They have the high quality as other well named brands.

Lost sound right after we got it. Sanyo wanted me to drive two hours each way to get it fixed. Hooked up a surround sound box to cable. No more black Friday deals!!

Look for HDTV resolution quality and program features. Sanyo, Sony, Hitachi & JVC are good choices for quality television. As far as prices, check bargains at different stores but extended warranty is not necessary since merchandise covered for one full year. Any issue you might experience, consult or return TV to store for solution.

We have 40" Sanyo 1080. It is a great tv except I cannot make the picture fill the screen. This is a little disappointing to me. Otherwise a great tv.

I bought a small 21" Sanyo for my living room (13 X 14). I sit 6 feet from it and CANNOT HEAR THE SPEAKERS ON THE TV. I had to buy a 95 db. sound bar to even use the TV but it has a nice clear picture and would give it an overall "A" if they put a decent speaker on it. TV was 120.00, sound bar was $99.00 more!

The TV is a 42" Sanyo bought on sale at WalMart. My wife chose that size for her living room which is not very big, and is quite satisfied with it. It is one of 3 TVs we have.

Nothing fancy, just a good, trouble-free, HD flat screen, 27" TV. It has several inputs for different functions, most of which we never use. It has a good picture without HD broadcast (which we don't have) & has given no problems in the many years we've had it. The price was right, too.

Bought 50 inch and have switched service providers twice. Always get clean, clear picture and clear sound. It is a Sanyo Dp50843. I have really enjoyed this purchase which was way less than I expected to pay. This unit is also energy efficient model.

Very clear picture, excellent sound and color and 1080p HD broadcasting ability, allowing me the features of Laptop to TV which makes viewing much easier and a higher level of concentration on the applied items selected.

We needed a replacement for a 10 year old Westinghouse TV that went on the blink. After some research we decided that the Sanyo offered a good "bang for the buck". It was in our budget and the size was good for our small living room. Set up was very simple as we were watching TV again after about 15 minutes out of the box. I would sure recommend this one if you are looking for a good picture for a good value.

I had the SANYO tv for a long time before it died. Was the best I have had. Got a Sceptre right now. It's alright but it's not like my SANYO. Haven't had it as long as the SANYO and it's already making a buzzing noise. The only reason I didn't get a Sanyo I was on hard times and couldn't afford it.

Sanyo 63", I have no idea of model. Came with a bunch of downloadable apps, which the thrill wore off after a few weeks, now 100% useless given the changes of technology. I use a Roku + AT&T Uverse and I'm happy. It's an LED TV.

I bought a new TV and put it up in my closet for one year cause I was PCS. I decided to stay here in Columbus so I took the TV out the box and it doesn't work. So now I paying 200 dollars to get it fix at a TV Repair shop. I will never buy a Sanyo TV or shop at Walmart again.

55 inch Sanyo flat screen TV - All quit after about 2 years. Paid $1400 to Costco figuring I got the best quality TV. I'm sitting here looking at a pile of scrap??? Anyone out there got an idea who to call for repairs or should I junk it? Quite a few times it has kicked off with a loud sudden noise from the program being watched. It always could be powered back on. Not this time. I don't recommend Sanyo TV... In fact stay away from a Sanyo.

One of our 3 TVs is a Sanyo. Its been working well for about 2 years but now, it's display is very red. A few months ago, it takes a few minutes before the display becomes clear but now it has gone worse as the display do not become better even if it has been on for an hour and it's color is highly red. If repair will cost me much, we will just be throwing it away.

I bought this tv for my bedroom and I'm very impressed with it for the price. I paid 138.00 for and got more than I expected for a cheap tv. I would totally recommend it for a friend.

I have settings on antenna tv. FYI. I have had this tv for just 1 year. Volume has always been low at high setting. I was watching program then started to change channels. Screen turned bright yellow then red then green then blue. Then back to bright yellow rotation.

Model #DP47840 serial # B1051147313659. I have been very pleased with this TV. Great color, sharp picture, I have had no problems with this unit. I would purchase another Sanyo.

Picture was good for 1 yr or so and all of a sudden the right side of the screen got very dark and you can hardly see the faces or activities. Sanyo 54 inch HD tv. I would like a refund because I paid almost 1000$ for from Walmart in Capitol Heights Maryland. I'm a single parent. I don't have that kind of money.

We have had the Sanyo for about 4 years. We have never had a problem with it. Fairly easy to program. I don't know the model. It has a great picture and sound and we would recommend it to anybody. It is one of four televisions we have and it is the one we watch in the evening when we sit down to watch television.

One month old TV. On sale at Wal-Mart. It is 55 inches and a fair price but in order to watch DVD/VCR, I must unhook wires from DirecTV receiver as the TV only has the 3 inputs for video. Customer service is not good which seems to be normal nowadays. Sound quality is bad but it is a cheap TV.

This is a integrated HD TV. It works extremely well. We have never had any problems with it. It gets a great picture. I wish we had it in every room! I would strongly recommend this TV to anyone.

I have 2 Sanyo 15" HDTV DP15657. They have a fantastic picture, easy to set up, and are durable because mine are in use all the time. Since I am very low-income I shopped details about makes, models, warranty, set-up, durability, functionality, costs, maintenance, compatibility with cable, digital antennas, VCR/DVD players and so on.

Sanyo FDV4064 TV - TV started flickering off and on shortly after warranty expired, which appears to be a common problem with SANYO TVs (due largely to cheap capacitors and other poor quality parts from China). Also cannot find some replacement parts. So I will never buy any more Sanyo products. You have been warned. Thanks for reading. IF it costs more than $200, a 3yr warranty is a good idea. IF enough are returned for failures, retailers (SAM's in this case) will stop selling poor quality products such as Sanyo.

Today I purchased a Sanyo 32" TV at a local store. I brought it home, assembled it and turned it on. I was proud it worked so well. Beautiful picture and dazzling colors FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES then the TV shut itself off and will not turn back on. I checked everything twice. Nothing works. A great disappointment for a disabled senior citizen who was counting on a quality product and quality experience from Sanyo.

My wife and I saved to buy this 58 inch tv for the new home, and now that we have moved in the brand new Sanyo tv do not come on. Tried to contact both Walmart and Sanyo. No luck there. Sanyo no more.

I purchased this Sanyo DP46849 a few years ago. This TV has given me trouble when I pulled it out the box. I purchased from Big Lots for 500.00 refurbished. Thinking the problem should be fixed well, when to take it back last day of the warranty they didn't have the replacement size, just smaller and the warranty would fall back on Sam's Club warranty, only find out I had to be a member then. So I lost everything. So the tv stills resets itself with a loud cracking noise. Back in the day Sanyo used have good products but I wouldn't recommend them to my enemies. Sanyo says "unplug it for 2 hours, let it sit then plug it back in." It doesn't work. Thanks for reading.

I have a two year old Sanyo flat screen TV. The television will not go on with the cable remote, TV remote or by turning it on with the power button on the TV. Sometimes it will go on 2 hours later. I called a repairman. He said it is a power problem and will cost about two hundred dollars to fix and he said it can happen again. It cost me $550 new. I called Sanyo and talked to 2 different people and got no help and the last guy told me this was the highest I can go with talking to anyone. I ask all of you to please tell ALL your friends NOT to buy Sanyo products. I am also writing to the BBB. Maybe they can look into the crap this company is making. Please join me into doing so.

We've owned 2 of the same Sanyo 58" FP TV. The first one had to be returned b/c of a blown speaker (NIB). The same make/model now has developed a black line horizontally about 2/3 way down screen. So far no success finding reason or solution to this.

It started out as an awesome tv. At about 13 months pic started looking unusual. It's been seen by Sanyo serviceman. Told me he could not help my television WTH. Sent it to another television repair service - they said the same thing. DEAD TV FOR ME and 800.00 bucks for Sanyo. No mas Sanyo anything and telling everyone I know there should be a recall issue soon.

Had the 55" tv for 13 months, paid $889.00 from Walmart. Turn on wait 5 min to come on, now won't come on at all. No help from dealer or company, piece of junk. Can't find receipt or credit card would help.

Biggest piece of crap dvd player EVER!!! 2 days old. Freezes up. Put in a brand new DVD. Freezes up. Skip to next chapter. Plays for 10 seconds. Freezes up again. Sanyo sucks!

I have purchased a 42" piece of crap... I mean Sanyo TV. Anyways I am a gamer and use the TV a lot, and shouldn't have to worry about a 500$ TV that is NOT even 1 or 2 years old!!! One day the TV is working fine the next I can't turn it on. If the green light does come on, the TV stays black anyways. Waste of money for sure. Buy a Vizio. They seem to last forever. I don't know how to file a class-action lawsuit but if someone has tips or advice please let me know.

Sanyo 55 tv soundboard... Sanyo will not stand behind their products. BEWARE. BUY SANYO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

This is sorry. Our 55-inch Sanyo flat screen quit working last year due to the motherboard no longer working. We paid 350$ for the part and to be fixed and now it has completely quit working again besides powering on to a blank screen. The same thing everyone else is saying. This is costing Sanyo more business to not keep their customers happy. That's **.

My husband and I bought a Sanyo T.V. for our kitchen 2 days ago. We have a beautiful picture and we have the sound as loud as it can go. However, we can hardly hear what's being said. Can we get some help on this? We're very disappointed and unless something can be done to correct this sound problem, we're going to return it to the store where we purchased it.

Sanyo 50" bought at walmart 2011. The sound went on it two days after warranty was up. Has lots of ports but none work. Had to use computer speakers on it. Other sanyo tv is maybe 36". The sounds blares so loud it hurts your ears then goes to black screen then sound is very low. Captions won't work. I am poor and disabled and it about gives me a heart attack when it randomly goes full sound. I cannot lower the volume when it does it. Ever since I got the 50" the remote would not work the tv. Wanted it fixed but couldn't afford it. Not happy.

I have a Sanyo dp42841 and I can't get it to 1080P. When I enter a HD cd it reads only 640. The screen is not crisp like my friends' who have 1080P TV's. How can I correct this???

My mother and I bought a Sanyo 52inch for the living room. We have only had for about two years. The first year it worked fine, but this last year it kept going dark in the middle of watching something. The tv is hooked to the dish receiver and to a vhs/dvd player. Everything else is working perfectly, but now we get nothing. Across the screen it just says there is no signal. Bad form Sanyo, won't do this again.

We've had a Sanyo flat screen tv for a year and it is ** terrible. The sound quality is ATROCIOUS!!! It can't handle any sounds, not even The Office, much less an action movie. It just buzzes and crackles nonstop. ** SANYO. Do not buy one.

I bought a 46 Sanyo flat screen TV from Walmart two years or so ago and it has been distorting pictures for about a year. All I want is a replacement part and fixed free of charge to get my money's worth. I have family member with other cheaper brand TV's and theirs do not have anything wrong with them, and they had it longer than mine!! I'm really upset with Sanyo and will let everyone know not to buy SANYO brands.

I bought a sanyo in Nov 2013 and it's now May 31, 2015 and my TV doesn't work at all. It turns on but the screen just stays black and when I called customer service they said the TV was out of warranty and I'd need to pay for any repairs. The TV was 1200$ and isn't even 2 yrs. Old. This is ridiculous and I'd never recommend anyone to buy a sanyo TV because they are pieces of garbage and the service from their support team is useless. I'll never buy a sanyo again. I'll be buying Sony or Samsung from now on.

I bought this 32 inch Sanyo in late 2013 and by late 2014 I notice that if you touch it to move it, the picture will go out then flash back on? This has continued thru this year also. Today, the picture went out and has not come on again. Sound, but no picture? I googled this brand & found all these bad complaints about the same thing. Taking this back to Wal-Mart!

I bought a Sanyo 50 inch tv not even 2 years ago and for no apparent reason, this tv has started blacking out and coming back on every few minutes. You can't even enjoy a show because of this problem. I would not buy another Sanyo tv or anything else they make if my life depended on it. I don't recommend anyone waste their money on a Sanyo tv. I'm livid. I will be running to the store to purchase a Samsung tv asap. Shame on Sanyo for selling such poorly made garbage.

I bought a Sanyo high definition LCD Smart TV, which was manufactured November 2010. Never started using it until July of 2011. I do not watch TV very often and now it won't even turn on. I tried unplugging it and it still won't turn on. I am so upset and angry. This TV is not even 5 years old. The serial number is B0440992312787. Something needs to be done to make this right.

We bought a new Sanyo 50 in. flat P 6 years ago. After the 3rd day a fine black line come up 3 in. from the bottom. Talked to Wal-Mart, they told me to return it but the next TV would do the same thing. Everyone who had bought that model TV had the same problem. It's the only thing we have had wrong in 6 years. My only gripe is I paid 1200 dollar's 6 years ago, now you can buy the same TV for 5 to 600 dollars. And looking to buy a new TV. But after looking at the Consumer Affairs reports I think I'll just hold off a while.

Stand doesn't fit properly. A real nightmare to program, sound turned all the way up and not clear from 5 yards away. Will never buy another one again. The only thing that kinda works is my DVD player, but again the speakers suck. But you get what you pay for.

I bought a 32" TV from Walmart 2/13. On 2/15 it stopped working. I called every 2 wks. I have not heard from Corporate yet. I have a lot more to say but not enough spaces to list it. I want to tell someone that can do something about this. Not a good way to do business.

I bought my first 50-inch Sanyo in 2010 and that one worked until March of 2014. My husband and I then ran out to Walmart to buy another 60-inch and here it is, March 2015 and the TV has started flickering on and off for no reason. It has only been almost a year. Sanyo brands suck, I will NEVER buy ANOTHER. Sanyo give it up and get out of the TV-making business.

I went with Sanyo for my new 55 inch TV less than a month ago because the last TV was made by them and lasted 7 years. An item fell off my entertainment center and as it fell came down the front of the TV. No cracks but now the screen is ruined.

I purchased a Sanyo LED TV 50" Model DP50842 on April 2, 2013 for 449.43. I thought wow! Great deal. On May 2014, I started experiencing sound problems with the TV, so I didn't experience the on/off thing everyone else has experienced. The sound reverbs, warbles, echoes, and sounds static-y. It is awful. I have used every sound setting for the TV in the hopes this would make a difference. What is weird is that initially the sound is ok and then it deteriorates into the same bad sound in less than 10 minutes. I agree with everyone else there is no recourse for us obviously from Sanyo and it looks like TV repair may not be cost efficient or the problem may not be fixable. However not only should Sanyo be accountable but Walmart should as well for selling a poor-rated product. I went to Walmart and asked if they would credit me towards a new TV of a reasonable amount and they said I was out of luck.

I've had my Sanyo for about 2 years. I hooked up a new cable box and when I turned everything on there is NO SOUND, JUST STATIC!!!! I've been troubleshooting it for 2 days thinking it's the cable company but after reading all of these reports I'm pretty sure it's the TV... I returned the same model about a month after we bought it for popping sounds! Should have purchased a different brand. Very disappointed customer here!! Will NEVER BUY SANYO AGAIN!! It's a Sanyo 42" LCD HD model #DP42841.

I purchased my 50 inch smart tv two years ago and have had no problems. After seeing various other reviews with low stars I thought I would give my input also because my experience with this tv has been great!

Had this tv about three months and the circuit board went out. The service center was great and it was determined the tv needed to be replaced. This is where everything went south. Sanyo customer service told me 7-10 business days to get a return ticket to the store. Now 12 days later and several calls asking for a supervisor to call me - no contact. Asked for a supervisor and was told he would call me back but hasn't happened as of yet. Now super bowl weekend I have no tv and this is inexcusable that nobody can tell me when someone will call me or when I will get a return ticket. Called several times and the last call was told if I received a call it would be today. I said if I receive a call and he said yes. Still a bunch of ifs and no answer yet. Worst warranty encounter I have ever encountered. I mean the worst.

My sons bought this tv for me hoping it was going to last at least 3 years. Less than 18 months later the screen went out. They (my sons) paid over 800.00 dollars for It. Took it to the repair shop and was told it was only good for landfill. They couldn't find the problem but said it would cost more than it's worth to fix it. Did some research on the Internet and found this to be a common problem. If you buy this brand make sure that you get a extended warranty for it. It was a gift or I would have, like I do on most products that cost that much.

I want to thank you for a great brand. Our old TV was bought before we had a fire in '96. The smoke and water damage damaged the volume and channel button but TV still worked perfectly. A universal remote solved that issue. Fast forward a few years. When time came to upgrade to a flat screen there wasn't a question of what brand to go to -- Sanyo. As for old faithful, she was sent to college dorm. She will retire here as a game TV. It will be a story for grandkids to ask about when they play.

DP42848 - I love this TV. It has been turned on every night, all night & the kids watch it during the day for at least 7 yrs. (I don't watch that much tv, I just need background noise to sleep, lol). It just started flickering on occasion, but can still watch it. However, I wanted to look up reviews before buying a new model. It's disappointing to see so many negative reviews. I was hoping to buy another awesome Sanyo TV. :-(

I guess it has been 3 years ago now I bought a 47 in flat screen TV. Out of the 3 or so years I have owned it, it has been to the shop 3 time for a total of over 2 years waiting on parts to fix it. Guess what it is back in the shop for the same reason #4. This time Sanyo said they would not fix it it was out of warranty so I have not had this TV in my house a year yet. It has been in the shop longer than it has been in my house. I spoke with a Guy at Sanyo by the name of Oscar on and off now for a month or to when I catch him off guard and he answers his phone. He has told me Sanyo won't do anything about it. I asked to speak to his supervisor.

I became the proud owner of my first flat screen tv, 05/23/2014. In 01/2015, the television would intermittently work. I contacted the cable company who ascertained it was the television. I then contacted Sanyo and spoke with a very rude rep, who finally gave me the number to call to get the television fixed locally. I had the same problem as many others have documented. The green light indicated the tv was on, but no picture, no sound. I could sometimes get it to come on and it would work great until I shut it off and then it would not turn on again. Apparently, it is the main board that needs replaced. Less than a year old and the main board needs replaced.

This is the second time our tv has failed us in the same way. Strange crazy lines on the screens until you can't see the screen. And now the replacement? You need a hearing aid I think. Every channel is fuzzy. I called the office twice. First woman was sending a tech. between 7 and 7...never came. But a huge box did. I called them, "is the tech inside of this box?" "No" she said "you weren't suppose to receive a box... so sorry throw it out." Weeks go by, I call again, I get a guy, sending out a box he says "you must put your tv in it we pay for s/h." Oh thanks. It's xmas time. No tv for how long? We never GOT THE BOX. We will buy another tv.

Bought a 42 inch Sanyo from Walmart and 1 yr and 2 days from date bought my sound went out. Didn't think much bout it.. So went and bought a 60 inch from Walmart. It was sanyo. Didn't have it 6 months sound went out and it's been in shop 5 weeks today. Still waiting for warranty to fix it. Never will I buy a sanyo or tv from walmart again.

These are the worst TVs ever. My parents had this TV for about 2 years and while we are watching it, it just cuts itself off. The sound goes out and then the whole TV shuts down. Something needs to be done. You won't get any service with this type of business. And you have definitely lost our service. This is embarrassing to watch TV with company and then it shuts off like what in the world? Please please fix it.

We were happy with our Sanyo 32 inch TV until late. We have owned it over a year. However it won't turn on. You can hear the power come thru but no picture Can't seem to find a manual for the model number so I can troubleshoot.

I purchased a Sanyo 39" in October of 2013 for Christmas. The warranty has now expired. I'm a single mother trying to make ends meet. Now my son has a TV that doesn't work. The sound on the volume goes in and out and then nothing. I paid $320 for it from SAM's club. That's half of my paycheck. Praying that Sanyo will make this right. We buy your products in good faith!

One day my Sanyo 28 inch flat screen from Walmart started acting up. When I turned it on the colors on the screen would split. I checked my warranty at it was two days passed my 1 year warranty. I figured I would check into getting it fixed. I found out that any work on this television was going to cost more that the $228.00 I paid.

I purchased a 50" Sanyo TV from Walmart in late August 2014. The sound suddenly went out. The limited warranty is for 90 days. I had the TV for 107 days, so could not return the TV to Walmart. Called Sanyo and was told it was covered under the 1 year manufacturer warranty. They gave me 3 locations to bring the TV to, for repair. I live in Indiana, the choices were Chicago, Worth, or Oak Lawn. Chicago location was the closest to my home, but I did not realize I had to drive through Englewood to get there. I dropped my tv off at the repair shop on December 5 and was asked to check back in 10-15 days. It is now December 29 and I was told they are still waiting on the part from Sanyo. The shop personnel are very polite, but it is getting harder for me to be polite. Was told that it could be another 2-6 weeks for the part to arrive from Mexico. I am so disappointed. I saved for a while to get a bigger tv and now have nothing.

We brought a Sanyo 55" television and they are not that great. They keep breaking down. The HDMI ports always go out, and now we're stuck with two non working HDMI TVs.. They work but we don't get the high definition like we should because the ports blow every time. We exchange them and then by the time they blow the warranty is expired. Very very bad service for these TVs. I hate it!!!! Don't buy a Sanyo!!! Waste of money every time.

Unplugged the cords to move tv. Plugged back in - don't work. Every time I unplugged, a new one stopped working. I'm down to using the Y/Pb/Pr cords bought three years ago for $600.00.

We have had static in the sound for about a year now - mostly at a low volume we hear it all the time. It creates a distortion and now just coming to the 3rd year we have owned it, it's losing the picture very frequently. More often every time we turn it on.. The screen goes black then comes back only to go out over and over, sometimes more today then less tomorrow and then more again the next time we turn it on. It's very unstable in its behavior. The picture is perfect most of the time. We thought it was our "dish" but we have a Vizio in the bedroom and it is perfect all the time. It's a smaller Flat screen and 5 years old.

I bought the 50" Sanyo flat screen tv in September of 2010 from Wal-Mart much like everyone else on here. After about 3 months, 2 or 3 lines of pixels at the very tippy top of the screen went out not all the way across the screen however so I knew something was up. Upon inspecting the rest of the screen, there were approximately 10 other pixels that had gone out in the tv screen and I was not happy, but I dealt with it because I thought I had gotten such a great deal on the TV why worry. Well then another 2 months down the road while watching TV I would randomly lose sound, very inconveniently I would have to turn the tv off then back on again to get the sound to come back, very irritating. Then when I was just coming up on my 1 year warranty expiration, the first HDMI port went, I personally thought that it was just the wiring in my building causing issues because we had a storm that night and I'm like in a building that was probably built when my great great grandpa was just a wee child so anything was possible. Repair guy told me that it would be better to just get an HDMI splitter and plug it into one of the two working ports.

Got this 50" tv at Walmart. It was new in box. Got it home and hook it up. Worked fine for two weeks then the screen went black for 5 minutes then came back on. Didn't think much of it. Thought it was a satellite thing, or I would have returned it. Got this Nov. 26, 2013. Screen went black again and did not come back on 12/6/2014 - would not buy this tv brand again. From what I have read in the review Sanyo knew they had a problem!

Sanyo tv picture is great but sound keeps going up and down on its own.. It's annoying. Tried to adjust the sound but it didn't help. Does anyone know of anything we can do? The tv is out of warranty.

Purchased a 50" Flat Screen in Jan. of 2013. The sound is going bad. Since the extended warranty was not purchased, I have to pay repair costs! Really??? THE TV IS ONLY 2 YRS OLD! SANYO SUCKS!!!

Purchased my 52 inch in 2011 and last week watching it, went to Walmart to pick up some dinner, came back only green light came on. Called Sanyo, told me they only cover 1 year. Called Walmart they said my warranty expired early this year! I am surprised that no one has gotten together to file a class action lawsuit - it takes 100 people. I am game because I spent close to 1300.00 to include 2 year warranty and had the tv less than 3 years. Walmart no longer carries the 52 inch.

In October of 2013 I purchased a Sanyo 50" tv from Walmart. In November of this year the screen started flickering. I contacted Sanyo and they basically DID not care. Now I am out $550 and have no tv. I would advise anyone to stay away from Sanyo products. I contacted Sanyo customer service and DID not offer me anything to satisfy me. A tv should last for several years not a few months.

Bought 50 inch in 2010, dusted the back of TV off with a swiffer, and the screen went blank, no picture nor sound. Warranty expired in 2013, so pissed, because paid some money for this crappy TV... done with Sanyo!

My 50 inch Sanyo television only on certain channels and only on football games plays in Spanish, the commercials are in English. My other television (Panasonic) plays the same games in English. I like to know why that is.

I got my Sanyo from Walmart 2 years ago. I couldn't ask for a better TV. Pictures great, volume is loud, and have never had one problem. It's even been moved 3 times and it's strong standing. Love my TV. Very good TV for me and I am picky!

I tried to get a hold of the Sanyo co. on the website but no luck. My remote control started to act up. It would work off and on. All I found was an alternative site that sells remotes for up to $29 and change including tax and shipping. $7.99 wow what a rip off. My flat screen televisions is a 42" lcd.

Our 50 inch Sanyo tv has given us good service. We bought it in 2009. We have not had any problems until this week with it. We went to switch from the DVD player back to satellite and it went blank, no sound, no pic. We tried reprogramming the satellite but it didn't work. Then the tv just started going off and on for no reason. We called a repair guy and he said these tvs are mostly throw always once something happens to them and we would be better off to buy a new than to try to even repair it.

I bought a 32" LCD Sanyo TV from Wal-Mart a couple years ago, and sure enough like everyone else the TV is randomly going black with no sound!!! And now it won't Even come back on!!! The green power light comes on but no picture or sound!!! We are on a budget and can't afford to just run out and buy a new TV!! The truly sad thing is there is nothing I can do!!! Ugh!!! Curse you Sanyo for selling overpriced junk and taking advantage of consumers!!! And curse you Wal-Mart for stocking such poorly made junk!!

My 44" Sanyo TV is 6 yrs old. It has worked perfect until yesterday. I was watching it and the picture and sound left. One minute it was great, next minute it was gone. After reading about all the problems of Sanyo, I am wondering if it can be repaired or if I should simply go shopping for another. It will not be a Sanyo ever again due to all the negativity I have read. If you are a specialist of electronics, please advise me if it is worth looking at or troubleshooting the problem or if I should purchase another TV. Thank you.

Turned the TV on and nothing happened. No power, just dead. Had the TV one year and 7 months. I like Insignia TV better. Best Buy brand, had it more than 8 years and still going. Don't buy ** Sanyo. Called Sanyo and the person is in another country and knows nothing.

DO NOT BUY ANY SANYO PRODUCTS FROM BIG W. Bought my Sanyo HD/LCD 103cm from Big W 2 & a half years ago for $1,000. Have not had a problem with it until tonight. When I went to turn it on, nothing... no picture, no sound, not even the standby (red light) was on. I checked the power cord, the power switch, changed power points and still nothing. I then come to Consumer Affairs to see if others have had any problems only to find out my case is not an isolated case. And after reading all the complaints I now know I am up for a new TV.

We purchased this Sanyo flat screen 54 inch TV at Walmart last year and it has already quit working. Had cable service out this morning and he said it's the TV. I have two small bullet hole bleed throughs and it constantly flickers then works awhile then back to flickering... We are senior citizens and needless to say, we are upset. Not to mention that it cost us over 600.00. Am disgusted and mad...

I work at walmart and also purchased a sanyo tv, but now the color fades on the right side and the screen picture splits across the top. Having read other reports it would seem Sanyo mass produce cheap tvs and Walmart sales them both sides profit leaving the consumers with nothing.

I also purchased a 47-in Sanyo TV from Wal-Mart. As soon as the warranty was up, there were lines appearing on the right side of the screen, it will be distorted and then black on half the screen. And the way it looks to follow suit, it should quit working soon, period? SMH!! If you read through the complaints on here, there sure is a trend. Before the flat screen and digital TVs came about TVs lasted forever!! I spent $1000.00 on a TV and Sanyo takes this approach with their products? Uh no never again.... Class action suit? I would be happy to... this sounds like but yet another fleecing products and we are their $1000 at a time victims!!

We bought a 50 in. Sanyo television about 6 months ago. The picture quality is excellent. However, the sound on this television is horrible. It sounds like you're in a hollow tunnel! I called Sanyo and their answer was to go in and turn the treble all the way down and the bass all the way up. Guess what!?? It didn't help! So, I call again, and they tell me it's covered under warranty and they give me a phone number to a repair shop that Sanyo uses and I can lug this huge T.V. to them to fix. The repair shop is in KENTUCKY! I live in Tennessee!

dp26649 is the model number of my SANYO TV. If anyone doesn't know this is their 26in model. I received this item for Christmas in 2006. As of today I am still using the same TV and still no problems. I keep seeing poor consumer reports against Sanyo. Yes I'm sure some of the items that was sold are going to have problems. That is a given, but for me? This was the best TV that someone could ever ask for. All cabling ports are still functional and the Main board and processor are still fully functional. I would recommend this product to all Friends and Family as well as anyone just looking for a great Quality Television. Thank you Sanyo for producing the greatest TV I have ever owned!!! !

I purchased A Sanyo 50 in 3 years ago, so far it has been great TV. The average life of a plasma, lcd or led TV is three years. The power supply is the first component to burn out. If you wish to extend the life of any new TV you need to put it on a power strip, with on/off switch, always turn off power strip. The power button on TV does not turn off power to all internal components, it is possible to double the life of any TV with on/off switch of power strip.

I purchased Sanyo 47 in lcd from walmart with a 2 yr extended warranty total $600 and it started showing a half screen immediately after warranty expired! No type of help or solutions from the rude and incompetent employees of Sanyo. I will never buy any of their products ever again! I'm on an fixed income and can't afford to replace or repair.

I purchased a Sanyo 42'' tv for my husband Father’s Day in 2011 at Walmart in S. Port Louisiana. One month after I got it I call the factory no. in the booklet and ask if the tv was suppose to feel hot and they told me yes. Then as soon as the warranty was out in 2012 the tv would only show a half screen. I tried to find someone to fix it and had no luck. I am stuck with a $800.00 just sitting here. I hope this didn't happen to anyone else. I have never in 50 years had a tv to do this before. This might not help me but I hope it will help someone. I am glad I ran across this page.

Who promised several times to have a manager call me back.. Well you guessed it, no manager ever did call me back. And now I have a TV that will cost more to repair than I paid for it!

Got 50" Sanyo TV for my Birthday of all things, had 6 mos and when you turned on it was like the speakers were blown. The person that had given me the TV could not find purchase rect. from Walmart! So now I'm stuck with this junk of a TV. This was a $600.00 gift. What is wrong with the world today? You just get robbed from stores and companies and there is not a thing you can do about it!!!! DO NOT BUY A SANYO TV!!!!

Bought this to put in my tractor/trailer...... I will say it has a nice sharp picture but the sound is worthless. I'm sitting 2" from the TV right now and you can hardly hear it.... I called into sanyo and they told me most people hook them up to a stereo system....... **. I didn't buy it to hook up to a stereo and I don't have the room to do it anyway. The volume is on 100% and you can't hear it from 2" away without straining to listen to it. That's just plain not right..... If I knew this I'd have bought another brand. Will never buy another sanyo product.

I will never purchased another product made by Sanyo. I purchased a Sanyo TV from Walmart. I feel that I should have gotten better service from this TV and the company manager and representative. I paid almost $900 for this TV and I did have it for about 5 years; however, I don't feel that the TV was old enough to just stop working, the TVs that I've purchased in past years have last far past this time and with the new more modern technology TVs are lasting far longer than before. After paying almost $900.00 for a 50inch tv I expect my tv to last longer.

Bought A Sanyo flat screen LCD. 2 years ago, the sound just went out. It is another Made in China piece of junk. I would not recommend to anyone to buy one. I never intend to ever buy another one.

58' LED DP58D33 - I purchased this TV from Walmart in Sept 2013. The picture all of a sudden went out. The sound is still there. I called Walmart because I did buy an extended warranty. Because it was within one year, they said I had to call Sanyo. I called Sanyo, was given a repair shop. At first, they wanted me to take this big TV to the shop, and I said NO! They then said, "Ok, we will arrange for them to come to you." I was told I should call this shop the next day. I did. The shop says they haven't received a work order from Sanyo. I call Sanyo and tell them the problem. I am then told it takes 48 hours for them to receive the work order. Guess what, it's past 48 hours and still no work order.

50" 1080p HDTV LCD MODEL NO# DP50843 - Just like some of the other customers, my TV for the last 6 months?? Has been shutting off and on. So when it comes back on I might have a picture or not. Sound comes back on but sometimes the picture will not. So then I have to turn off the TV then turn back on to get a picture!!!! I have contacted Sanyo and they referred me to some guy in Springboro, Ohio which is about 40 some miles away for me. I tell the guy that is way too far and I can't do that.

I have had my 32-inch HD tv since 2008. Got in with President Bush money rebate at the time. Can't complain, it's worked well ever since I made my purchase.

Sanyo 42" tv - The TV will not work with the remote controller. I've had this TV about 8 months. It worked great when I first got it. It started not working with the remote but sometimes it would work, and then now it won't work at all. This is the second one I've had and both of them do the same thing. What will resolve the problem.

Left side of screen takes 15 to 20 minutes to show picture while right side turns on immediately when power button is pushed. At first is pitch black left side then it goes to white then gradually color lines begin to appear then it turns one but left side picture is not clear. Picture is not clear left side, always has visible lines. This started happening year after we purchased it.

I purchased a 50-inch Sanyo FVM5082 P50842 less than two years ago. For a number of months, I've had trouble playing DVDs using my HDMI cable. I would receive messages stating, "Please use audio input for DVI connection," when there wasn't such a connection. I tried a different HDMI cable. I tried using a different DVD player. I changed my HDMI intake connections from 1 to 2. I came to the conclusion there was a defect in the TV itself. When I checked online, I learned other users were having the same problem I was. Fortunately, I had purchased a SquareTrade warranty at the time of purchase and will not have to pay any extra for repairs. SquareTrade sent a new digital main board and an authorized repair person will install it tomorrow. Sanyo was aware of this universal defect. It should have notified ALL customers who had bought this model and issued a recall notice. Sanyo, instead, did nothing. People with a regular one year's warranty are out of luck unless they force Sanyo to do what's right. For this reason, I will never buy another Sanyo product.

When I turn on my Sanyo TV (6 years old), it clicks off after a few sec then on then off then comes on and screen is black but I do have audio. WHY?

I bought a Sanyo 26" TV about 5 years ago - still as good today as when I opened the box, was so pleased with it. I now have a 42" and a 32" both over 2 years old never a problem. I believe there is good and bad in all but you only hear the bad.

Randomly but often the TV makes a hiss sound followed by ten seconds of full volume. Right after that happens, the TV shuts off and restarts. It's about 2 years old. I bought it on sale at Walmart.

My mother purchased a 39" Sanyo flat screen TV today, 4/15/14, from SAM'S. After reading all of these horrible reviews and complaints, we are going to take that thing back to the store on 4/16/14, as soon as I get off work. The TV is still in the box, and the box is still in the car. Thanks for the warning, everyone. I guess my mom and I did the purchase kind of backwards; we should have come here first. But since we didn't, at least I came here before we got stuck with a crappy, horribly made product. THANKS, EVERYONE!

I admit I haven't called anyone at Sanyo yet, it's 5am on 4-3-2014. I just got my tv about month ago with a lot of the old westerns so as wagon train. Dead or Alive is only on at that time and I don't sleep much, I watch them. Then the tv gets turned off till afternoon. This has been only thing since disease has gotten worse. I purchased this tv from Walmart Madison, IN. It have to be only outlet, don't remember because of my pain, and husband already left so I can't get to file cabinet with papers. But I know it's been a lot less than 5yrs. We also bought ext warranty. I wanted this tv because it had its own tv guide included in tv channels. I have pay cable tv almost 60/mo. for internet and approx 10 channels, it is a large on wall.

I am wondering why Walmart is carrying a product that has been reported to be so inferior. I have had my Sanyo TV for a few years but it just stopped working. period. Done. Over. No more television. If I had any idea of the way that Sanyo regards their customers, I would NEVER have bought their product. The responses by Sanyo to complaints by the consumers are ridiculous. Obviously Sanyo has no regard for their product either. How is it that consumers have no idea of the huge problem with companies like this? We should not be forced in to being a throwaway society.

I bought a tv at Walmart for 799.00. Had it 2 years now. It is a big black tv with only sound. It makes a strange noise. I can turn it off for a few hours then turn it back on. The picture is very clear for a short time then it goes black again with only sound. I was going to contact the company but after reading all the other people said. I thought it would be a waste of time.

I bought a 55-inch Sanyo TV in June and it has been hanging on my wall ever since. About 3 weeks ago, I left on vacation. When I returned home, my TV was not working. I contacted Sanyo. They sent me to B&K Audio to repair the TV. When the repair shop contacted me they said it was not covered under warranty due to physical damage. I then asked, "When you say physical do you mean as the TV has been hit?" They said no, not necessarily. I then asked them about if the cold air could have done this damage and he said yes because I explained that I turned my heat off while gone. I then called Sanyo and explained that to them and they still say because of physical damage there is nothing they can do. I don't feel this is right when I know for a fact I did not touch this TV and I was gone. Also when I called back the TV repair shop, they told me he shouldn't have told me that the cold could have done that. I'm just very disappointed in both companies and I spent a lot of money on the TV only to be told nothing can be done. It's only 8 months old.

Bought April 2012, 6 months later, sound goes out. Have to carry it 60 miles to repair shop. Now under extended warranty, cannot turn volume up/down, TV off/on with remote. First time I called, they ask to unhook and unplug the TV. I did and it worked. 3 hrs later not working. Called again and got a very rude man and said to send in my remote and they would send me another at my expense. Told him under extended warranty, he said, "Then call extended warranty"!! I did and after 20 mins finally got the young lady to understand the problem. Instead of me taking it to a repair shop 30 mins from home, they will send me a box and label and can ship it back to them for repair! Very concerned about shipping it back to Sanyo. No telling when or what I will get back. Never Never again!!!!

I contacted Sanyo customer service 3 times by email to have a form letter returned to me each time. The form letter stated their hours are from 8 - 4 daily and would answer at their earliest convenience. They never answered. Tried calling customer service and was put on hold for over 45 minutes. A very rude customer rep. named Jason, informed me that my 1 yr. old $750.00 tv was not under warranty and tv's don't last forever. If I am not satisfied with the quality of the tv, buy a new one! Really?! I purchased the tv on Feb. 4, 2013 and it started crackling Feb. 14, 2014! Bottom line... DO NOT BUY SANYO PRODUCTS!!!

Purchase TV April 2011 and the TV is turning on and off by itself. The customer service said basically sorry the TV is out of warranty and “we can give you a repair company number at your expense of course.” My parents had TV’s for years and years and they didn't die. They just went out of style. Don't buy Sanyo product because they don't last!!!

Bought the TV in July and from day one you have to turn it on and off three times before you get a picture. I came here to find a place to call tech support but after reading reviews why bother. No more Sanyo products ever.

Sanyo. 39 inch tv - First Sanyo product I bought and to be the last. After about six months the speakers were crackling and you could not understand anything. Long story short, I dealt with people who had no knowledge of the product. Took it to a repair shop which in itself was a joke, two lessons I learned. ..never will I purchase anything with this "sanyo" name on it and will never hurry up and wait for a tv repair shop. My advice. ..read reviews before buying...anything

Purchased a Sanyo TV from Big W ($598) and 13 months later I could not turn it on. Woolworths say they only sell the product so the 12 month warranty is with the manufacturer. The power board has died, and it's $350 to replace the part (from AWA) with only a 3 month warranty on that part. Goodbye Sanyo, will never buy another Sanyo product again and will never buy another TV from BIG W as I am told this was a special batch made by Sanyo for BIG W.

Bought tv from Walmart about two years ago. Half screen black. Out of warranty. Called Sanyo customer service, said this was not a problem they have been having with other tv's but as I look on computer, lots of others having same problem. Never buying another Sanyo.

I purchased a Sanyo TV LCD 32XZ10 at The Warehouse NZ in Christchurch in November 2011 for NZ$399 on a special offer (price reduced from $799) and was given 1-year warranty. I was told that the reason for the discount was that the item will soon be out of stock. The TV S/N 1006L32XZS10450 LOT 204092 XHT 100279 was manufactured in June 2010, in China. I was happy with my purchase until Tuesday 28 February 2014 when all of the sudden the screen first went black and then produced a faded grey/black blurry mixture of shadowy picture. After checking the power cable, I run the auto-tune, but to no avail. The picture stayed black and grey and blurry. Only the sound remained fine.

I start having trouble with my TV after the second year. When I turn the set on the screen would show a vertical break down and after a hour the picture would come in. Try to get it fix. No one could fix it because they do not have the part and could not find it so I just let it stay on till it crap out. The TV is a piece of **.

Bought a Sanyo 55" LCD on 12/17/13, took it home and I baby everything that I buy and I was looking forward to watch my new TV. I took it out of the box and boy it looked great. I said WOW and my wife said hook it up. I put it on the TV stand, hooked up my sat and plugged it up and guess what happened.... Nothing... No pic... No sound, the green light came on and went back off. I repeated it over and over. I finally called Sanyo. They told me to unplug and plug up somewhere else and still nothing. I asked the lady what next, I can hear her voice over and over in my head take it back then. I told the lady I wanted to get something for my trouble, it takes time and gas and all the trouble I had to go through Wally to get it and she said "I can't help you" and I asked to talk to her supervisor and he said "I tell corp." Will see.

Sanyo DP42848 - My wife purchased the TV in April 2009. The TV was over $1000.00 and we used our hard-earned cash to splurge. This afternoon, I went to watch the game and the sound comes on, but the screen is completely blank. I called Customer No Service and they told me that the set is out of warranty. Of course the only thing they could suggest is to buy another TV. The TV did not even last 5 years. This TV is a shoddy product and I will not purchase a Sanyo product again. Based on the comments from others, I see that these products are crap...

No picture when first turned on and then streaks and finally some semblance of a picture.

I bought a 46-inch Sanyo TV from Walmart 2 and a half-year ago, bought the extended warranty on it. After having it six months, the TV would shut off, turn back on and would have no picture but had sound. They replaced the board in it. We ended up moving the TV, went to storage at my parent’s house for about 9 months. Our house was finally ready, we moved in and ran the TV for about 3 months and once again, the board did it again. We called Sanyo many of times, got ran around, said they would have managers call me back, still no answer. I’m tired of waiting around. I spent all my money on this TV for my husband for Father’s Day and we are on a tight budget and can’t afford another TV. The last few days, I’ve been online trying to find a new board for the TV and everyone says it's out of stock or can’t get. I’m really getting upset and going to file a lawsuit against them.

I bought a Sanyo 46" TV through Wal-Mart a little over three years ago. I bought a three year warranty and had to use it once due to 1/2 the TV would blink on and off and would should the picture in shuddering slow motion. My warranty is gone now and now I'm having the same problem with the opposite side, would appreciate some sort of re-compensation. Or at least let someone out there know what a Lemmon Sanyo flat screens are about.

I am having the same problem as Jeffrey in Buffalo. Same problem. The sound just goes shhhhh at full volume. The TV shuts off and comes back on. Scares the pants off of you when it happens. Is this a death knoll? Bought the TV maybe 3-4 years ago, probably at Walmart on sale. I don't think I would buy another Sanyo product ever just from reading the posts from others with the same problem. Won't bother checking to see if I had warranty cause I'm probably outside of it anyhow. Would join a class action if there was one.

We have had our Sanyo 46" 1080p for about 2 to 3 years. All of a sudden, the screen went black, but we had sound. Then, the picture would come back on. It progressively got worse; staying off longer each time. Now when we turn the TV on, the picture will not come on at all. Of course, the warranty is done and we didn't buy the extended, so we're screwed!

About 6 months after we bought this TV, Sanyo DP 42840, it started with sound issues. The sound would skip, then you would have to pause the TV, and then it would be fine. Eliminated it being the cable by putting a different TV int the same spot for a week, no issues. Now after 3 years, it turns itself off and on. After reading all the complaints, I think I am going to file a BBB complaint. If everyone did this, it might make a difference...

Start off by saying, I don't expect the world to drop on a dime for me. That being said, Sanyo has to be the single worst Customer Service I have had the misfortune of dealing with. Reps are rude and interrupt you when you're explaining something. Told my case was being expedited to the office. Didn't hear back for three days. Called back and they said the upper rep had called and left a message. This is untrue since I checked my call logs both on phone and on bill. Nothing. Zilch. Zero. Called back. Rep asked for pictures of TV. I took pictures and sent it to them. They said nothing of what the turnaround is. Called back two days later and they said it could be up to three days. Of course my warranty is quickly running out. I'm guessing this is some sort of stalling tactic so they can pretty much screw me.

I have had this TV for 3 years and for the past year the left side of the TV is blacked out when you turn it on. It takes 20 minutes or so then it will clear up. With the cost of the TV this should not be happening. I was married when we purchased the TV and the former spouse never purchased warranties but apparently it doesn't help anyway. I would only join in a class action lawsuit, not an individual attorney for suit...... too costly.
