Sanyo TVs Reviews

I bought a Sanyo TV (Model: DP42848) in 2009 for $800.00 from Walmart. Here we are, two years later, and it has started to have black lines running down from the top of the screen, turns itself off, sometimes has sound and sometimes it does not. It is absolutely heart breaking that I paid so much for a TV that ** out on me after two years! And, of course, no one can do anything for me. I will never buy another TV from Walmart nor will I ever buy another Sanyo! This is a royal waste of my hard earned money! Thanks, Sanyo!

I purchased my Sanyo 42" LCD Flat Screen two Christmases ago and the screen is now black but the green light comes on. I also purchased a smaller one for my room. After reading the complaints, I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I called Sanyo about my dissatisfaction with their product.

I bought a 42" Sanyo LCD TV at Walmart in December 2008 to replace a more than 20-year old RCA console floor. I turned it on the other day and all I got is a sound and a black screen. I was not very happy with life of this TV. TVs should last longer than this. I won't buy Sanyo again.

I ran across this site hoping to find a solution to my singing flat screen problem but from the reviews, looks like I may not. I have had my 48-inch flat screen for a couple of years now. But about a year from the day I bought it from Walmart, it would cut off after about ten seconds. The only way I can get it to stay on is to keep pressing the power button until it finally stays on. If I let it cut off by itself, it will stay off. So I unplug it for a couple of minutes, then it will let me click it on again. My poor son has to sit with the remote in his hand constantly pushing the on/off button for sometimes almost an hour. That's the only way to get it to stay on. It takes longer when its cold in the room so I'm thinking it has to do with some heating mechanism. Basically, I just keep turning it on and off until it will stay on, and if you see that it's not ready to stay on by itself, hurry and turn it on and off a few more times until it heats up. It seems as if it has to warm up before it will stay on. I hope this will help ease a little pain.

I had just recently bought a 47-inch LCD television from Walmart only for it to shut off about 6 times a day, and now it won't even stay on at all. I have tried to contact someone about this problem but I can't get any response. This TV is only 6 months old and I am very frustrated with it. I think it is a shame people work to have nice things that work correctly and Sanyo is taking advantage of that by selling faulty products. I am a young widow of four children and cannot afford to buy another TV anytime soon.

In 2009, I purchased a 42" flat screen from Walmart. I really enjoyed the TV until 9-19-11. Now the TV comes on for a second, then goes black but the sound still works fine. My wife called Sanyo and they informed us that the warranty was up and instead gave us a number for a repairman. The representative said it would be $65 for the visit and between #200-400 for the repair. She also stated that the all flat screens are only good for 3 to 4 years. I don't think that's true, for $800 it should last a lot longer than that! So now we are watching, using a 1996 model GE that still works fine.

I purchased a Sanyo TV model no. DP26640 in June 2010. Recently, while watching a program, the volume automatically increased to a piercing level and the picture went black. I called the cable provider because I thought it was the cable box, but discovered it was the television after I tried unplugging the unit, switching outlets, changing its location and having the box replaced. Sanyo told me I would have to pay for repairs because the unit is out of warranty. Are they freaking kidding me? Why should I have to pay for repairs on a brand new television that, obviously, was faulty from the start?

Wow, my 47" Sanyo is only 8 months old and cut off by itself last night and won't do anything. After reading this blog, no need contacting Walmart or Sanyo! This is sad. Shame on Walmart and Sanyo!

Our TV is less than 2 years old but turns off and on all the time, and makes a very loud noise when doing so. Before this, the screen would go blue at random. Please contact me if a class action is started.

14 months ago, I bought a 42" Sanyo HD. It went off and will not power on. There is no picture or sound. I contacted Sanyo, and I was told that I am out of 12 month warranty. There was no help. After reading reviews about all the problems, I am not expecting any help. I will never buy Sanyo again, and I will post on Facebook, to let all my friends know what not to buy!

I purchased a Sanyo DP26649 26 inches LCD HDTV on 5/17/09, with a two-year warranty from Wal-Mart. Twenty-eight months later, the green light comes, but there is no display. I can't change the input. The TV is dead. What a shame because the picture is beautiful. I was going to spend $50 on a diagnostic service to see if it can be repaired. After reading all of these reviews, I think I'll put the $50 towards another TV. I will never buy another Sanyo.

I purchased a 50" Sanyo Plasma HDTV, model#DP50719, and like everyone else, it turns on and off by itself, repeatedly - no picture and no sound. I will contact Sanyo again.

I went in to TV department to get big screen TV. I looked for 30 minutes and found the one I wanted. There was supposed to be 3 in store. He could only find the one on display. It was Sanyo 42-inch plasma for $428.00. I asked if the one beside it could not be substituted. It was Sanyo 42-inch LCD for $478.00. He said, "Oh no, can't do that." I told him that if they got no more in stock, they should not have it on display. This is false advertising. Their service is not as advertised. False advertising is very bad for business. I will refer friends elsewhere if I can't get any results.

I purchased a Sanyo DP46848 LCD television from my local Walmart on 2/3/09. We have the credit card transaction and the TV, but no receipt. The TV worked fine for about a year and a half. Then it started to get lines at the top of the screen, covering about 6" of the top of the screen. We have been watching it like this since then. Now, 9/7/11, the whole left side of the TV screen goes black as well, like what happened at the top of the screen before. I have finally had enough. The trouble is, it is out of warranty. I come to find, there are a lot of other people with the same problems. What options do I have at this point?

I bought a 50" Plasma from Walmart, Model No: DP 50749 and Serial No. B9471026060075. It turned off by itself while my family was watching a movie together and it will not turn back on. It did not have a power surge, as the cable box that is hooked in the same power strip did not go out. I have unplugged it and tried to turn it on. The green light shows up and the TV makes the clicking sound but there is no picture or sound. I did some research and found a web site with people with similar problems. I have a SANYO 32-inch bulb TV for 9 years and it still works great. So when I decided to buy a plasma, getting a SANYO was a no-brainier. I refuse to believe a company with such high standards would standby while so many customers are having the same problem with one of their products. I have had this TV for a little over a year. I bought the extended warranty and Walmart says it is not there problem. I was directed to the web site. I called the number, but of course, no one was there. What is the problem? Who can I call to fix it? Did I pay $1,000 dollars for a paper weight? Please help!

I purchased a Sanyo flat screen TV several years ago from WalMart. About 6 months ago, it started turning itself off and on. It finally won't turn on at all today. I now see that lots of other folks have had the same problem and that Sanyo does nothing to fix it. What a shame that they sell a product that they know doesn't work correctly and I consider that fraud and stealing! I think I will take my complaints to the social network.

I purchased a 47" Sanyo LCD TV from Walmart in 2008 during the pre-Black Friday sale. The LCD screen has just gone bad. This is unacceptable! I have spoken to Sanyo and they will sell me a 2011 model for $375. I do not have the money, and since I see all over the Internet that there are thousands of people with the same issue, they should replace it for free! I wish I knew what to do. This wrong a TV goes bad and it is not even four years old! Walmart will not even talk to me. I checked and there is no class action yet that I can find.

Walmart is selling faulty Sanyo TVs. Walmart says that they can't help even thought it's under warranty. Sanyo has been putting me off, telling me that they will call back but they never do. So we keep on calling them. Now, they are saying that the main office will have to see what help we might receive. Walmart should get this junk off their shelves. A lot of Walmart products I bought seem to die quickly.

We bought a 50 inch Sanyo DP50740 Plasma TV from Walmart four months ago. We were watching TV today, and it started turning itself off and on. Now, the green light will turn on, but the picture or sound doesn't work. This is so frustrating! I spent about $900 on this TV.

I bought the Sanyo TV January this year and same as all the rest of the complaints. It worked for a few months and then nothing. Green light comes on and that is all. No picture or sound. We have gotten no results from Walmart or Sanyo. Sounds like a very widespread problem. I think Sanyo needs to do something. Joyce **

I called Sanyo to let them know that my television (Model DP42848) is not covered under warranty anymore. It is only 2-3 years old and now the screen is turning black. I said I had also seen a Consumer Affairs blog about the problems with their TVs and he said, "I think that you have overstated the problem." He has only heard of this problem happening a few times. I asked if there was a recall. He said this problem was not that big of an issue and there were no recalls. He gave me a number to a repair service. The repair service thought it was some kind of "board" that needed to be replaced and would cost about $200 to fix.

Our Sanyo television, which was purchased for $1,000 in 2008 and with extended warranty for two years, decided to die after the end of two years. It has black lines in the upper right corner, which are intermittent, and a periodic black screen. I am amazed that so many people have the same problem, yet the company doesn't admit or address them.

OMG! I cannot believe what a widespread problem this is! Come on, people. Let's band together and get our problem fixed! I have 2 large flat screen TVs from Sanyo, bought at different times. Both turned on/off, made loud noises then shut off and come back on without problems. Now my bedroom TV will not turn on at all. Both are new within the past 18 months. I really thought it was a problem with my cable company, but now I am much wiser. Sometimes, we have to just fight for the principle of the matter and this is worth fighting for. Shame on you Walmart, and shame to you Sanyo for marketing and selling a substandard product. This will not be the last you will hear from me. I am so tired of getting jerked around at every pass. Stand behind you products or do not sell them. Walmart, you get so much of my money every month. As a hardworking citizen not jerking the system in any way shape or from, I cannot believe that you engage in such fetid behavior. Shame shame shame!

My husband and I bought a 50-inch Plasma television made by Sanyo in August of 2009 at a local Walmart. We paid around $1,000 and we were excited to have it for our movie nights with the kids. The whole time we have had it, the sound would cut in and out, but we just thought maybe it was the satellite. Now I wish we would have realized it was the television itself! About a week ago, the television just stopped working at all. The power goes on and off by itself, and it has no picture or sound!

Many complained that TV went out, the same as mine, because of faulty parts.

Bought a Sanyo DP42840 on July 19, 2010, just over a year ago. Within the past several months our TV has been turning itself off and on and this past Friday August 5, 2011 the screen went black. Green on/off button goes in and out. Called Sanyo and tried to trouble shoot over the phone to no avail. Rep on phone said manager would call me back Monday or Tuesday. No one called me, so Tuesday August 9th at 5:30 central I called Sanyo and expressed my dissatisfaction in their response time. They told me no decision has been made about my case and to call back Thursday! Called Walmart and was told it is out of their hands.

I purchased a 42-inch Sanyo TV from Walmart in April or May of 2009 and now it just stopped working. It won't turn on! I called Walmart and they are no help. Judging from the other posts I will have no luck if I call Sanyo! I'm so mad!

When I got a tax refund, I purchased a Sanyo TV DP42848 46 inch flat screen for $1,000. I had the item for 5 months and it started turning itself off.

I bought a 42" flat screen HD one year ago. The screen comes on for one second then nothing. And by the way, Walmart and Sanyo are dealing with substandard product. It looks like legal action needs to be taken.

I purchased a Sanyo 47" LCD in June 2008 costing me $1,185.84. As of June 2011, there is a defect in the LCD panel causing black lines at the top of the panel. Neither Walmart nor Sanyo will stand behind the product and refuse to offer any assistance.

My husband and I bought a 40" Sanyo TV for Christmas on December 24, 2009. When turning it on, the TV makes popping noises then the picture goes blank. From reading all the complaints about these TV’s, I feel lucky to still have sound! I was really afraid the TV was going to catch on fire the first time this happened.

I purchased a 46" Sanyo flat screen TV in the fall of 2009. Today August 1, 2011, I noticed black lines on the upper right side of the screen. It appears Sanyo has created a bad product (model number DP48848). Of course they don't want to take responsibility even after reading so many bad reviews.

We bought a Sanyo TV and it worked wonderfully for a short time. Last night, we kept smelling smoke but could not figure out where it was coming from. It finally just stopped. Today, our TV completely went out and it will not even power on (there is nothing wrong with the electrical outlets).

I bought a Sanyo flat screen TV with my hard working income. This is my first flat screen. I bought it on February 2011. Now it’s only July 2011 and I woke up trying to turn it on and it won’t turn on! The green light comes on for 10 seconds then turns right back off!

bought my husband 36 inch sanyo lcd tv for christmas 2009 and until a month ago worked great. the green power light flashes but no picture no sound. unplugged tv went on vacation and plugged it back in and same thing. went on the sanyo site and no help at all so I cam to this site looking for help or answers. looks like I have it NEVER buy sanyo again!!!!

I purchased a Sanyo DP50749 back in February 2010. Today, I tried to turn my TV on and got a black screen and the light turns green and cuts itself off.

I purchased a new Sanyo 50-inch TV less than two years ago and it just shut down. It will not turn on, apparently there are numerous complaints about Sanyo TV's doing the same thing.

The TV died; no picture and sound. I purchased it from Wal-Mart in January 07. I paid $1148.00. It did not last, and the quote for repair is $600.00 plus.

Sanyo Model Number DP46848 $6 Inch LCD TV needs to be recalled. I can't believe WalMart and Sanyo aren't doing anything about this. I have reviewed hundreds of complaints online from individuals who have all had the same problem with the TV going black on the one side of the screen and eventually going out. We paid $1,000 for this TV and only had it 2 years. This is absolutely rediculous. Something needs to be done to Sanyo and WalMart to make them take this TV back and give us the opportunity to trade it for a different model.

I bought a Sanyo LCD television in spring of 2011 from Walmart. About 4 months ago (FEBRUARY 2011) I noticed it started to get black lines at the top of the screen. Now the screen has gone completely black, the power light comes on but there is NO sound and NO picture, just black screen!!

Since the first month I bought it, my TV would turn on and off. I called, and the customer service representative said it could be an electrical problem in my apartment. I had the TV since Christmas 2009. I called customer service report, and when they answered, the first thing I said to the representative, Tony, was "Hi, Tony. My name is Tina and my TV is out of warranty. Can you help me troubleshoot it to see if the problem with my TV can be fixed?" So, he proceeded to ask my name, serial number of the TV, and then placed me on a brief hold; and then came on the line and said, "Yes, Tina. Your TV is out of warranty." And I asked if he knew if it could be repaired. He said, 'No.' And that was it.

I bought a Sanyo DP46848 from Walmart in 2008. Recently, the screen started turning black on the right side. After a few minutes of being on, it cleared up. Well, now it does not clear up at all. I called Sanyo and filed a complaint with them. They told me that someone would call within 72 hours. Well, they called within 72 hours. When speaking to their upper management about the situation at hand, he advised that they could not help me, I was very upset and went off over the phone. I don't care what problem you may have with Sanyo, they will not help.

I owned a TV for less than three years, and the screen went black on the top first then started going out about half-way on the left-hand side. Sanyo knows about the issue but will do nothing for us. It seems ridiculous to pay $1100 for a TV that doesn't work after 2 years. I would like to join a class action lawsuit.

I bought a Sanyo 42-inch TV and black holes eventually appeared on the screen. I talked to Walmart and they can't pull up records that are over 2 years old. Sanyo said it's out of warranty. How can a company like Sanyo not stand behind a TV which is an expensive investment as it is when it goes out after just 2 years of use? Obviously, it's defective. I will never buy any electronic product from Sanyo or Walmart again. If a class action suit is set up, count me in.

I bought a 42-inch Sanyo Plasma TV from Wal-Mart in April. Today, the TV will not turn on. The green power light comes on for about 30 seconds, and then goes out again. I paid $450 for this television and now looking through other complaints, realize I am going to have to go buy a new one! I am disgusted at both Wal-Mart and Sanyo.

I bought a Sanyo LCD television in spring of 2008 from Walmart. About 4 months ago, (February 2011) I noticed it started to get black lines at the top of the screen. Now the screen has gone completely black, the power light comes on but there is no sound and no picture, just black screen! I paid $1295.00 for this TV and now have no TV for the kids and cannot afford to by another one.

I bought a 50-inch plasma in November, 2010. Six months later and numerous calls to cable company, I have come to a conclusion, after reading reviews, that the problem with the intermittent sound is a Sanyo problem. It makes watching TV a burden.

I had problems with Sanyo TV DP19649 not working 8 months into ownership. TV turns off and on by itself randomly, getting worse each time. There's no remedy available. There has been no recall or update. In fact, the manufacturer admits they are aware of the design defect, and yet, they still produce and sell them, offering no help when the product fails.

I bought a Sanyo model number **** and serial number **** in 2009. Now, it has dark spots or areas. We paid over $600 at big lost since we are on a fixed income. So now Sanyo is ripping off senior citizens. Shame on you. If you sell junk TVs to big lots, then they should sell them dirt and cheap. Are you both working with each other to rip off hard-working people? We have 5 Sanyo TVs but when I need to replace them, I won’t buy another Sanyo.

I bought a Sanyo dp46848 46 inch LCD HD TV from WalMart in Ebensburg, PA in the middle of 2009. It has lines on it around a year old. Sanyo refuses to stand behind their products.

I bought a 42" Sanyo in the fall of 2009. It worked fine until today, May 18,2011. Now, it turns on and off all by itself with no picture or sound. What a piece!

I bought a 46-inch Sanyo plasma TV from Wal-Mart in late 2008. I did not use the TV for a year. After a year of regular daily use, I started getting 12-inch black horizontal lines across the screen. I would start to tap and bang the set and it would temporarily disappear. And sometimes as the TV warmed up for hours, it would be okay. I see that others are having the same problems. I paid $1000 for a set that I thought being Sanyo was a good deal. I guess I was wrong. I will never buy Sanyo brand again. This set was assembled in Mexico. You get what you pay for. Sanyo or Wal-Mart should stand behind their products, especially the high-ticketed items. I trusted this product due to it being sold by Wal-Mart. Otherwise, I would not have bought it. I would support a class action suit against Sanyo.

I bought a Sanyo 50 TV on March 2010 from Walmart. It worked good until this morning May 17, 2011. The TV was manufactured in February 2010 and it has no picture and no sound. My son can fix electronics, he looked at the TV it seems to need a new main board the board is $160. Sanyo won't sale it unless you are a licensed repair shop. Why? I am so unhappy. This TV should have lasted longer than one year and if the TVs are going to break so often Sanyo should be selling the parts to repair them it would not be worth fixing if I had to take it to be repaired. I have a GE TV it is over 11 years old still works great! I wish I had not gone with Sanyo. Won't make that mistake again! I wonder is the common denominator Walmart is walmart getting substandard products.

I purchased a 42" Sanyo Plasma TV from Walmart less than three years ago for $1200. After the first 14 months, it got color bars on the screen then blacked out losing picture and sound. Both Walmart and Sanyo refused to help me, saying that the TV was out of warranty. I had it repaired for an additional $400.00 and after nine months, the screen has gone black again and I only get sound. I'm now out $1,600 for a TV that lasted two years. After reading some of these complaints, I take it that there's nothing I can do.

I bought a 46" flat screen DP46848 from Walmart in July 2008 for approximately $1,000. A few months in I started getting small black vertical lines on each side. In April 2011, it started blacking out the top part of the screen, then the bottom part. It comes and goes, but sticks around. I was amazed that everyone is having the same problem. I would like to know how many complaints they have to receive in order to initiate a recall for this product. My last TV was a 50" and is 11 years old and still working. This is a huge shame on Sanyo. They really need to make this right. A $1,000 TV should last more than 2 - 3 years. How do you start a class action suit?

I bought a Sanyo LCD television in the spring of 2009 from Walmart. About a month ago (March 2011), I noticed it starting to get black lines at the top of the screen. Now the screen has gone completely black, and the power light came on and there was sound but no picture, just a black screen. After reading all the complaints, I am not going to even bother trying to get it fixed. I will buy another, better television; never will I buy Sanyo again! And trust that I will ensure none of my family or friends do either.

Purchased Sanyo TV model# DP26649 from Wal-Mart on October 21, 2009. 17 months later, the TV is useless since the set turns on an off with sound while picture is just a partial scramble. Sanyo is junk. From reading all other complaints, it seems there should be a recall. My son is bummed out as it was a birthday gift. Fortunately, I still have my Magnavox from 26 years that still works great. Why is everything built to last only one year? I guess because America revolves around fake monopoly money. This only hurts the hard working people. Sanyo sucks. Don't buy from them.

I have a Sanyo 50-inch Plasma TV that is just over a year old. The main board has gone out 3 times now and they won't do anything about it. All Sanyo TVs are the worst TV I have ever owned and I will never buy another one. I paid $800 bucks for a TV that is no good.

I bought a 42" Plasma HDTV in 2007 at Wal Mart. Just a few months ago one of the boards controlling the screen went out. I spent $250 getting it fixed and less than a month later it went out completely (black screen and no sound). I thought I had a decent TV until I found so many other people being ripped off like I was by buying a "name" brand product. I will never buy another Sanyo product ever!

My Sanyo DP19649 19" LCD TV won't turn on or flickers on and off, and then it stays off. It is the same or similar problem as the other numerous complaints on this site. The TV was bought for a surveillance system. It doesn't have 10 hours on it. I only needed to set up the cameras & playback recordings periodically. It's been in a clean, dry, room temperature environment, since the day it was bought 1.3 year ago. After 13 months (one month outside warranty period), it failed.

I bought a Sanyo plasma TV from Walmart for $1,200, I believe, the summer of 2007. It worked fine. Then one day in summer of 2010, the top half of the screen started going black. I called Sanyo about the problem, but they said there was nothing they could do because it was out of warranty already. I looked around online back then and saw a lot of people with the same problem, and no one helping them.

I bought a 50" Sanyo Plasma TV; it doesn't work right out of the box. There are vertical lines on both sides of the screen and no sound. I sat on hold with Sanyo for an extended period and never did get to talk to anyone.

My friend bought a Sanyo flat screen TV for me from WalMart in 2008. I am not an avid TV watcher so it was not used on a regular basis. In December of 2010, I turned it on and the sound went out. I called Sanyo who would do nothing because it was out of warranty. I took the TV in to a repair shop who told me it was a PCB board and would be about $200.00 with labor to repair. Seeing that we paid $474.00 for this TV two years earlier, I am opting not to have it repaired. That said, I will never, ever buy another Sanyo product again! Never! $474.00 is a lot of money to me and my friend.

We got a 42" Sanyo LCD TV at Walmart sometime in December 2008. Recently, in October 2010, we noticed a dark spot in the middle of the screen, more like gray. At first, we thought that the scene being shown has a cloudy sky but we realized later that it does not disappear. Then, a month ago, a line on the upper portion of the screen appeared, specifically 1/4 of the whole screen, and which would disappear maybe 30 minutes after the TV set is switched on. It is so disheartening because we could barely afford this kind of TV and saved so much for it (around $1,000). And now, considering that life is harder than it was two years ago, I doubt if we could have another TV when this one finally dies.

I received a large Sanyo TV for Christmas in 2008. Before the year was up, the sound went out. My kids took it to be repaired and the repairman said the soundboard was fried. He replaced it and I had it less than two weeks and the same thing happened. I'm not sure there's any point in trying to have it fixed again. It was a gift so I wouldn't have to strain my eyes to watch TV. I'm housebound and have cataracts so watching TV is about all I can do anymore. Now I have a 200-pound paperweight I can't move or use. Thank you for reading my complaint.

I bought a 37 inch Sanyo TV and after only 6 months, it turns off and on by itself with no sound or picture. I will never buy another Sanyo again.

I purchased a 42-inch Sanyo. I had it about 2 years ago. I turned on the TV, it has no picture, but it has sound. Then a couple of seconds later, the whole TV went black. I’m trying to call customer service (nothing). The panel board went out; I took it to a repair shop. It cost too much to repair. Do not purchase Sanyo TV unless you like buying a new TV every couple of years. I don’t care how much they cost. I will never buy one again. I hope there is a lawsuit because you can add my name.

After only two years, the screen went completely black. I tried to contact Sanyo to no avail. I will never buy Sanyo again and will be turning this over to my free attorney to deal with this.

I purchased a 42" LCD TV from Walmart, almost two years ago. It had just recently developed two, almost baseball sized. black circles at the top of the screen! One of which is in the extreme upper right hand corner. The other is to it's left, about 3/4 of the way across the screen.

I just wanted to let you know that my TV is all the way out now.

I bought a 42-inch Sanyo from Walmart. This TV lasted about 2 years. I paid over $2000. The green light comes on, the TV clicks, but I get no picture or sound. I was quoted a price of $250 to repair and told it would probably happen again in approximately 2 years. I have televisions that cost less than $250 and have lasted 10 years. Walmart won't help and Sanyo just gives you the run-around. This seems to be the problem with buying Chinese made products. [Look at the dry-wall fiasco.] Who has that kind of money to be ripped off by these corporations? Apparently, they know that this is a problem, yet they have offered no recall. I will not buy Sanyo products or shop at a store that does not stand behind the products it sells.

I will not buy Sanyo products or shop at a store that does not stand behind the products it sells.

I purchased a Sanyo 32in Vizon in May 08 from Wal-Mart. I am very discouraged to see so many comments with the same issue as me. I turned on the TV to find sound and no picture. I was hoping to find a fix for this and found many disgruntled Sanyo owners. I guess my fix is to never purchase another Sanyo TV.

I bought a DP42746 Sanyo 42-inch plasma TV. It worked for 3 years approximately and broke under warranty. I got it fixed. Then 3 years later like clockwork, it broke again. The repair man came to my house the first time it broke and told me the repair would have cost me $600 and Sanyo wouldn't even sell a circuit board to me. This isn't fair. My children and wife can't even watch a television that I invested and trusted a company with $1200 6 years ago.

I bought my Sanyo flatscreen 50 inch LG TV in Feb. of 08 and about 2 months ago it started to have a black screen when I turned it on. Then, it would flicker and come back on, sound was fine. Now, it takes us to turn the TV on and back off 4 or 5 times to get a normal picture. It sounds like I don't have much time until it completely goes out.

Within a year of buying our 42" LCD Sanyo TV at Walmart, it got a streak (blackest gray) going down one side. From the reviews of those TVs, it sounds like there should have been a recall. The consumers should not be paying big bucks for such poorly made product. You go to their website, you can't get through to them. Who stands up for the consumer to make sure they are not done in by a bad company?

Sanyo 42" LCD HDTV less than two years old; purchased from Walmart. The screen has four vertical bands on the left side of the screen of about 4" that range from green plaid to solid black to black with lines. The right side is still completely clear.

I paid $1250 for a 42" Sanyo DP42746 plasma TV about 4 years ago. Less than 2 years after the purchase it died. We had it repaired and 2 years later it has died again the same way it did previously. Sanyo has essentially told me sorry, that's too bad. By all appearances this product suffers from a design deficiency but there is no authority that will make them do so.

I purchased a Sanyo 46" LCD flat panel TV from Wal-Mart in December 2008 for $1000. In September 2009, the screen developed 3 large black blobs across the top and there are colored lines running down the screen from the blobs. It rapidly became worse.

My Plasma 42-inch Sanyo DP42746 just quit working only after 1-3/4 years. It was $1200, new and Sanyo won’t do anything about it. I looked online and found hundreds with the same problem. No picture/sound, 1/2 picture, lines. Now an error code 12 on the main board saying it’s a D12V problem and it will cost over $600 to fix it. Sanyo should have a recall and make this right for the thousands that are now without their hard earned money and TV. I will never buy a Sanyo Product again. They don’t stand behind their merchandise.

We purchased a 46" Sanyo LCD TV Model DP46848 from Walmart in May 2008. In August of 2010, the TV started to show black horizontal lines on the right side, which quickly progressed to the entire right side of the screen going black. At first it would come and go. A month or so later the whole right side was blackened. We took it to a local repair shop only to be informed the TV was not fixable. Something is wrong here. We spent over $1200 for this TV and had just gotten it paid off a few months before this started. It lasted less than 2 1/2 years! Sanyo should be held responsible for selling the public TVs that can't be fixed. This was my first Sanyo and will be my last. What a rip-off.

Have a 42"plasma model DP42746 with no picture, no sound. Called Sanyo and was told to carry to my nearest repair shop. Less than 2 years old when bought and of course out of warranty.

This is a 26" Sanyo Model #DP26649, manufacture date August 2009. It went black, no sound after date received on September 13, 2009 to September 20, 2010. It is one year 7 days old. Sanyo will do nothing as it is out of warranty. It's unfortunate that we allow this junk to be sold in our country. I will never buy another Sanyo. Sanyo Executives better start reading bad reviews on the internet and correct these issues.

My 26" Sanyo Model No. DP26649, manufacture date August 2009, went black, no sound after date received, September 13, 2009 to September 20, 2010; one year and 7 days old. Sanyo will do nothing; it’s out of warranty.

We bought our 42" Plasma Stereo TV in December of 2008. By 2 January of 2010, 1yr+10 days later vertical stripes had formed, but we were told by Kmart that the unit was now already out of warranty.

We brought a 46" Plasma TV about 2 years ago. The screen started black on the left side. We took the TV to a repairman and it will cost more to repair than a new one will cost. When I contacted Sanyo, they told me there was nothing they could do because it was no longer under warranty.

We purchased a 46-inch Sanyo TV in May of 2008. In June of 2010, the left half of the screen started going black. We saved and saved for this TV. Shame on Sanyo, in these hard times not to make it right and recall the TV's.

Screen went dark on one side. As you can read on the net, lots of people are having the same problem. Walmart or Sanyo won't help me. Their TVs are junk and they know it. I am at the point of buying another TV, mine's too bad to watch. Please help.

I forwarded a complaint on failure of my Sanyo DLP42726 42" plasma TV to Sanyo. The problem was the picture went blank with sound. My repairman advised that it would not be cost effective to repair this unit. This TV is approximately 3 years old and my expectations were much higher. Sanyo Supervisor of Customer Service, Harvey ** reported that there is no recall or known problem with this TV. One only has to look at easily found information on the Internet to know this statement lacks truth. Sanyo documents their commitment to quality and reliability then denies responsibility when a known problem is apparent.

We purchased a 46" Sanyo LCD TV from Walmart in October 2008. In April of 2010, the TV started to show black horizontal lines on the left side which quickly progressed to the entire left side of the screen going black. Recently, the whole picture went, showing nothing but colored horizontal and vertical stripes. We had taken it to a local repair shop, only to be informed that the TV was not fixable. We spent $900 for a TV that only lasted us a year and half! We contacted Walmart with our frustration, but they were not willing to do anything as we had no "warranty". We also made an attempt to contact Sanyo directly but was never able to get through to speak with anyone. We will never purchase another Sanyo TV again and will continue to inform others of our experience.

Purchased a 46in Sanyo TV. Before the 2 yr warranty, there were dark streaks forming down the middle and on the right side of the screen. I contacted Wal-Mart, where I made the purchase and they would not do anything. I contacted Sanyo Direct and they wouldn't either. Then the screen started flashing black, sometimes part way across the left side then from the bottom to the top. Now it goes black half way across and all the way to the top. I cannot watch a show without it doing this. Contacted Wal-Mart and Sanyo both again and nothing. They won't do anything about it.

We have a 46" that we bought a little over 2 years ago. Over the past 6 months, the left half of the screen has started turning black and stays that way most of the time that it is on. We did not purchase an extended warranty, but it wouldn't have mattered because it would be out by now. Very disappointed. We've bought Sanyo products for over 15 years. We even have a 19' TV that is 17 years old. Never had one problem with it or any of the other 3 Sanyo TV's, 2 VCR/DVD players, etc. didn't purchase the extended warranty because of the good track record of Sanyo. However, we will never buy another Sanyo product again.

I don't know if my complaint went thru so I am writing again. I purchased a 46" Sanyo Television from Walmart a little over 2 yrs. ago. About a year ago, it started having a dark spot on the right side of the screen. It is now having big dark lines running completely across the screen. I read in my book this can be caused from cleaning the screen too hard (which I have not done). I believe they knew there was a problem with the televisions and used this as a way to not have to replace the bad set. I paid over $1,000 for this thing and it has lasted no time at all. I have a Philips TV that was over 15 years old before it decided to give it up. I never had a problem and always had beautiful picture. It seems as if these newer electronics are made to get just past the warranty. They should have to replace the thing with a brand new one.

I bought a 46-inch Sanyo Model **** LCD HD TV 16 months ago from WalMart. It cost $1087.82. The picture started going black on one-half of the screen. It seems like this is a common problem with Sanyo products. I work at a large manufacturing plant with plus workers and I will put flyers and tell everyone I deal with.

Wal-Mart extended warranty is a fraud and the service is a joke. My 42-inch Sanyo TV has the extended warranty. It went out 3 weeks ago and I called to make a claim. To this day, my TV is still in my living room broke. And they are telling me it could be a week to two weeks before it gets repaired. When I called, which is numerous times, I get the same excuses. Parts are ordered or they have to wait 3 to five days for parts to come in. Then, I have to wait for another repair center to schedule an appointment to come to my house and fix this TV. I’ve been without TV for 3 weeks now and it will be up to 2 more weeks for it to be repaired. That’s a month of Direct TV that I will pay for and not be able to use. This complaint is one of many on the internet that I’ve found. Meanwhile, Wal-Mart is raking in the cash on fools like us who bought into the "extended warranty" scam.

In February 2009, I purchased a 50" Plasma DP50747 TV from Wal-Mart for $898.00. Within months, the volume would go down all by itself. The problem worsened. The TV would also turn off all by itself. I finally called to report a warranty repair. I was told to "reset" the unit. That did not work. So they sent a tech out once and "repaired" it. That did not work, so I called again. This time after a lot of complaining, they finally authorized a second repair. But this time, they wanted me to drag this monster TV to the repair shop!

I bought 3 new Sanyo 32", 42" and 46" LCD HDTV's from Walmart. The 46" has a dark shadow that appears on the left side to the middle of the screen. This started to occur after about a year from purchase. I have discovered that it is a common problem with this set. Sanyo will not stand behind this common problem even though it is ongoing. I have stood beside Sanyo with many dedicated purchases and even helped build up their reputation among others only to be reminded that they will not stand behind their product.

I have had a Sanyo 46” HDTV for 2 years and 3 months. It started getting blacked out sections that come and go and has been getting worse. Half of the TV turns black and will persist for hours. I called Sanyo and considering that the product is past the normal 1 year manufacturer’s warranty, the best that they verbally offered was sell me another Sanyo HDTV for something like $480 (discounted). A check on consumer reports shows that this problem is very common with this product. This manufacturer should definitely be held accountable. I’m looking for someone who can assist.

Sanyo Vizon 42" (model no. DP42746, S/N B63390911158142, Chassis no. 42746-00, build date Sept. 2006) plasma TV purchased at Wal-Mart in 2006 has failed with same problem seen by others. TV powers up, green indicator light and relay heard clicking once. However, screen remains black. Unable to display menu or hear sound. The TV worked great and had a fantastic picture until then. However, it is unacceptable for a $1500 TV to only last four years!

I had a Sanyo 42 inch LCD for 3 1/2 years when, like everyone else on here, the screen went black. There is a power light but there isn't sound or picture. I called Sanyo twice for the reply but we can't help, so we can find someone to fix it for you, however you have to pay for it. This is garbage and someone from Sanyo needs to pay for ripping hardworking people off.If anyone has information about this lawsuit or you have heard about theseminarian please say something!

I purchased a Sanyo 19" LCD flat screen TV Model DP19648 from Wal-Mart on 10/4/08 for $257.00. By March of 2010 the TV would not get a picture or sound. I contacted Sanyo and they gave me the name of a Sanyo repairman in my area. I brought the TV to him and he said the Main Board is out and it would cost $200 to repair. I don't know if anyone is accustomed to buying a TV every 15 months. I have had TV's last for 15 years. This was my first and last Sanyo product!

I purchased a TV, Sanyo 42" Plasma (DP42746), from Wal-mart in 2007 and paid $1000.00 for it. Over the last 6 months, the screen kept turning black over the bottom half of the screen and then yesterday everything just went black and no sound. I called and asked Wal-Mart and Sanyo about the problem and they stated their was nothing they could do for me.

Purchased a Sanyo plasma 32" TV from Walmart for $900.00. Model#OP42746. Currently out of warranty. Sears repairman came to my home to repair TV. Power Board has died, $1,700 for a replacement! The cost of replacement part is more than the original price of the TV! What a rip off!

I called Sanyo and told them that my 50 inch flat screen would go off by itself after about 15 minutes of viewing. They told me that someone would contact me the next day after the case was reviewed. They called and said that they could not help me. The TV is only two months out of the 12-month warranty. I told them that I would never buy their product again. They gave me a repairman number in this area and it will cost half of what I paid for the TV. It's just not fair.

My father purchased a Sanyo 42" LCD TV in April of 2008. He is in his mid 80's and his wife has only partial vision in one eye. This was their first large screen TV and they were so excited that my mom would be able to see the TV! Since they are an older couple, they don't have any young grandchildren and they thought Sanyo was a 'reputable' company. They did not purchase the extended warranty (it would have been out anyway). Never in all their years of purchasing TVs have they had a problem. TVs in the past have always lasted for many, many years. Please note: They are on a fixed income and they saved up for close to a year to purchase a TV that my mom could see. We live in the desert so they are not able to sit outside and enjoy the weather because it's 110 degrees plus outside.

This is not a complaint, rather a follow up describing a resolution. In regard to the Daniel of Boulder City, NV, post dated June 20th, 2010, there has been satisfactory resolution. The original complaint described a Sanyo 32 inch LCD TV that failed. After writing two respectful letters to Sanyo describing in symptomatic detail how my TV failed, a Sanyo representative contacted me at the end of June, and asked me to return the TV to the Wal-Mart where it was purchased for either a replacement or a full refund.

Similar to many 32" Sanyo flat-screen, developed dark patch on right side of screen in less than year. 4 of the 8 Sanyos of same model at Walmart on display have same issue.

Sanyo 46" flat screen has developed shadows and dark areas. There are lines going through the television. I've tried everything. I'm stuck with a lemon from Sanyo. Every TV I've had lasted for years. This is my first disappointment with a TV. I've had my own since the age of 8. I'm now 51.

Not a complaint but instead a thank you to Sanyo. We had an issue with our 50 in Plasma. Wse had no problem with Sanyo. They replaced our TV with no problem at all! Thank you Sanyo. Tammy, you were great! Charlie you were great!

On November 8th, 2009, I bought a Sanyo model # DP46848 LCD TV from Walmart in Batavia, NY. By early May 2010, it started having the right half of screen staying darker than left side of screen. I called Sanyo and spoke with a technician who asked if I had an extended warranty to which I answered no. The tech then explained the screen on the TV was shot and was not worth fixing and also seeing it was more than a year (1 1/2 years) since I purchased the TV that there was nothing he could do for me. He also stated that most LCDs made now are throw-aways. I did tell the tech that maybe after 10 years, it should be a throw away but not after a year and a half. The conversation ended there.

I bought the 46 inch Sanyo TV for $1200. 2 years ago the left side of the screen blacks out and after research I see it is a common problem, Sanyo says too bad more less, I told the girl I would never buy another Sanyo if they did not address my problem, she said ok thank you for calling. They definitely need a recall rip off Sanyo. I’m out a TV and $1200 bucks I have a 20 year old TV that work still this don’t last 3.

I purchased a Sanyo 32" HD TV at a local Wal-Mart in January of 2010. The TV worked well for 60 days and then started malfunctioning. At the end of April, the TV would turn on for two seconds, and then go black without sound. I could not reach a Sanyo representative on their consumer hot line, and tried for three days to do so. Therefore, I took the TV to a local repair shop which noted the malfunction. They were able to contact Sanyo and were directed by Sanyo to tell me to take the TV to a Sanyo approved repair shop.

I swear I want to work for a company like Sanyo. You get to sit on your ** all day, and do nothing. I sent back my TV 3 weeks ago for replacement, and still have not gotten it back. It took them 3 weeks to get it. I am now waiting, since May 2nd. Sanyo, get your act together.

I bought 46 inch Sanyo TV, started having dark line on left side, one day turned it on and half the screen is black, takes a long time to come back right. So I have to leave it on constantly, called tech support and they say nothing they can do, it is only 1 year and 2 months old, seems there products go bad after the warranty runs out, very strange that there is so many people complaining about the same similar problems. I will never buy another Sanyo product ever!

I purchased a 46" HD TV from Walmart, a Sanyo. I have had this TV for not even 2 years. I purchased it on August 30th, 2008. Last month, maybe on April 25 or so, a light to dark shade came across the set flashed on an off and stayed on for almost the rest of the night. I called a repairman who I was told from Sanyo to call and he, the repairman, said it was the LCD panel and it would cost $1460 more than the TV cost, and now was not available for my set, not that I was going to have it repaired for that kind of money more than the TV was worth. So the question now is no warranty expired, but why do they make TVs and parts that are more than the TV? So no, is it that the ones they sell break down and can’t get parts for so just return them for another? Wrong, not when the warranty is expired, and another TV to purchase from Sanyo, no way. Heck never again from them. I’m now out of $1098, but now have I to purchase another model. I am going to get in touch with the Better Business Bureau and file a report to see what they or can be done with this complaint.

They do not want you to have these numbers. They know something is wrong with their product. They admitted today and I quote: “This is new technology." They know there is a problem. I spoke to a Best Buy’s tech and he announced that "Wal-Mart" TVs have cheaper parts in them so they can sell them cheap. I spent 6 hours getting those numbers. My TV is doing the same as everybody else’s. Kind of funny we all have the same problems. I lost 6 hours getting those numbers back. Sanyo is very uncooperative in the matter of admitting there is a problem.

Purchased a 26" Sanyo TV from WalMart about 6 months ago. Set started turning off and on all by itself. Called Sanyo for repair, they sent a technician from K-Pro. After 10 days, technician called us, telling us that the part for the set was back ordered and that we should come and pick up the set and take it back to WalMart.

They replaced my 42 inch (for 400) that was only two years old. I took 20 phone calls to get to the right person. Now, the new 42 inch (DP42849) less than 30 days old is broken, will power on and that's it, no picture, nothing. This TV was for my vacation cabin and only worked for three days. My vacation was ruined. I had Dish Network setup a dish and now I had to come home.

Owner for 4 months. Come on, then go off, no picture, got sound. Sounds like I am not the only one. Will never buy a Sanyo product again. Got it from Walmart 46 in LCD DP46849.

I bought a Sanyo 50 inch television from a furniture store for a $1000 in Feb 2009. I began to using the television but no more than twice a week in September 2009. At the end of March 2010, the television stopped working. After speaking with Sanyo and the furniture store, I decided to call a television repair company. The guy came to my home and said it was the power supply. After a day, the guy called and said Sanyo doesn't make the part anymore. Here is my issue! After completing some research on the internet, I discovered many consumers had the same problem. I think Sanyo knows that the televisions are defective.

On December 23, my mother and father bought my brother and I a new Sanyo 52-inch Plasma TV's for Christmas. I pulled mine out of the box and hooked it up and nothing happened. We took it back to Walmart and without any problems they gave us another one. For 3 years we enjoyed or Sanyo TV. Then in March of 2010 we turned it on and sparks came out the back and it won't come on for longer than 4 seconds before shutting off again. If you turn it on more than four times, it will stop coming on at all.

My husband and I purchased a Sanyo 46" LCD TV the week after Christmas, 2009. On 3/17/10, the TV broke! I was baffled that a brand new TV - less than 3 months old - would break down. My husband called your customer service line. He was given the name/location of a nearby certified Sanyo repair center in Media, PA. My husband took the TV there on 3/18/10. My husband spoke to the repair center on 3/22/10 at which time he was told parts were ordered but they had no idea when the parts would be in. They said the communication from Sanyo regarding parts to repair places was poor.

Same as everyone else, I feel really ripped off. I had the TV for less than two years before it went out. I will never purchase another TV from Sanyo or Walmart.

We purchased a 42" Sanyo television February 2008, which cost approximately $800. In September 2009 the screen went black. The set still had sound and would change channels, but no picture. My husband called Sanyo and was told it had been over one year and there was nothing they would do since we hadn't purchased one of their extended warranties when we bought the TV. In February of this year we took the set to a repairman to get it fixed. The repairman also had problems with Sanyo and found that a major component would have to be replaced to repair the set. We just had to ask him to bring the set back. It would have cost almost as much to fix the set as it cost originally. We have lost the original cost of $800 for the set as well as the time lost from work to talk to Sanyo and Wal-Mart when trying to get someone to fix the television. Now we are out of a new television.

I purchased a Sanyo DP37647 LCD HDTV in May of 2007. After 2.5 years, the set began to display black smears on the left and right sides of the screen. I contacted Sanyo and their response was "sorry, take to a local repair shop of your choosing." It's absolutely no help. It is outrageous that a TV that cost $800 has such a short life span and no customer support.

I received a Sanyo Digital TV as a gift on December 25, 2009. It replaced a 19-inch analog TV. I was thrilled about it. Now here it is March 2010. What is happening with America? The gift by itself was and is appreciated, but it’s more about these really huge companies, I guess. I turned the Sanyo 26" digital TV off the other night and the next morning when I turned it on, I only had sound with no picture.

I bought a 32" Sanyo LCD flat screen TV from Walmart in May 2007. It died 12 months later. Sanyo told me it was still under warranty and to return it to Walmart for a replacement. I did. Walmart said no way. I had Walmart call Sanyo. After the call, Walmart reversed themselves. I was to get a replacement TV at no charge.

Well, on Feb. 24, 2010, I went to my doctor's appointment. When I came home, I tried to turn my TV on and it would not turn on. I checked the plug and the outlet to see if I might have blown a fuse but it turned out that it wasn't the outlet. So I began looking through my paper work and the TV for the warranty dates. I called Walmart to see what they could do. They told me that they could not do anything and gave me the 800 number for the warranty for Sanyo Corp.

I bought a Sanyo HDTV at Walmart in 2008 model #DP42746. After two years, the screen went black. I called Sanyo and they said because the TV was out of warranty, they would not help but could give me the name of a repair shop. After reading all the info on the web about the "Black Screen of Death," I realized that I am not alone in my problem. I can't believe I got stuck with a crappy TV that died after only two years. Never again will I buy Sanyo products. Stay away from them. They make trash.

We have had this TV for one year only and there are now black spots in the upper right of the TV and black lines forming across the middle of the screen. I found out this TV has mercury. I have read several other complaints from other buyers. We had to save for this $800 TV and just have it one year. This really hurts our pockets and people need to know.

I purchased this Sanyo HDTV 1080P, Model no. DP 42848 manufactured in June 2008, at Walmart. I purchased it less than 2 years ago. I’m beginning to see lines from the top of screen midway a 2x3 black circle in the upper right corner, and I too am experiencing sound without picture. After reading all these similar incidents, I am concerned for our safety regarding the uncertainty of the TV. I am a hard working single parent. The $600.00 expense was hard enough the first time. I cannot afford to purchase another similar TV. I am very disheartened that Walmart and Sanyo have not provided customer satisfaction.

I bought a Sanyo 50-inch plasma less than two years ago and when I turned it on, it will stay on for one to two seconds and then turn off. You have to wait twenty seconds to try again. After four tries, it won't even try to turn any more; you have to unplug it to reset it and once you get it to turn on, it will work fine as long as it is warm, so I leave it on all the time. I paid $1300 for it at Walmart. Never again for Sanyo or Walmart.

TV "died" with no warning after 3 yrs and 1-1/2 months and I am not a happy camper with Sanyo or Walmart. I purchased Sanyo 32" LCD-HD (Vizio), model #DP32746 at a local Walmart on 1/6/07 for $768 and also bought additional 2 yr warranty from Walmart for another $58.88. I did experience lines, or shadows, on the right side of the screen but could live with that.

I bought a Sanyo TV 3 years ago at Walmart for $700. For the last 6 months, it has progressively gotten worse. I turn the TV on and the sound comes on for 3 sec then off for 1-1/2 sec. Also the screen goes white for the 3 sec and then black for the 1-1/2 sec. I will turn it on and leave it for as long as 6 hours before it turns on. I will never buy another Sanyo anything again and I will bad mouth them every chance I get.

We bought a 46" Sanyo LCD TV on September 28, 2008 at Wal-Mart (Model#DP46848). In the end of December 2009, when turned on, the TV would be total black. After it warmed up, you see 75% of the picture. Now when it comes on, it's a pretty shade of stripes. After warm up, you can see 75% of the picture. Sound is still good. That is less than a year and a half. The economy is awful right now. We can't afford another TV. Sanyo will not help. Please help (I have kids.).

I purchased a 46-inch Dp42848-DP46848 TV from Wal-Mart. I bought it in 4/19/09. In 8 months my TV goes blank. The only thing that will happen is the green light goes on then off again. I called Sanyo and they sent me to a repair center. The repair center says that it is all corroded and asked if I had it outside, near salt water, or do I have Chinese dry wall. All are a no. This does not sound good. I’ll probably get the TV back and it will happen again. Everyone’s TV that has gone blank /black should call the better business. Cost: $998.00 plus tax. They shouldn't get away with this.

I purchased a Sanyo TV model # DP26647 made in Feb 2008. The TV screen went black for the first ten minutes, then it would warm up and come on. This TV is not even two years old and it failed. Sanyo will not help with their defective product.

I purchased a flat screen Sanyo LCD TV about three years ago and it has stopped working. The screen flickered for about a week and then went black. I initially got sound but after a few hours, the sound stopped. Since reading these comments about Sanyo, I have accepted the fact that I bought a lemon. I will not buy another Sanyo product with a thorough investigation. I thank you for this complaint site and I hope it is read by others before they purchase a Sanyo product. Again, thank you.

he needed no more information, didnt ask to reset the tv or try any problem solving, he just knew what it was. apparenty it is a common problem, and does happen often. I wrote the corporate office asking them to either fix or replace the tv. i feel when you buy something it shouldnt break down so easily or so quickly, these tvs are not cheep. what ever you can do for us is appreciated, as a consumer i feel we have no rights at all anymore, they just make things to breakdown. this set us back a pretty penny, we paid over $1,200 for this set, and can not afford another. thanks for your time and letting me rant. god bless.
