  If your Sanyo LCD TV shows no image, first verify the connection between any external equipment and the TV. Remember that it can take a few seconds for the image to appear after turning the TV on. Ensure that the selected system corresponds with the external or video equipment. Also, confirm that the TV is operating within the correct temperature range (0°C ~ 40°C). If the issue persists, try turning the power off and then on again to restart the TV.

  If the remote control for your Sanyo LCD TV isn't working, start by checking the batteries. Ensure that there are no obstructions between the remote receiver on the TV and the remote control itself. Make sure you are within the maximum operating range of 16.4 feet (5 meters). Finally, check if direct sunlight or strong artificial light is shining on the TV's infrared remote receiver; if so, eliminate the light source.
