sanyo telivision

i bought this set in 2012 an overall not satisfied with the product.the main problem is it
priodically shuts itself down for no apparent reason then turns itself back on.now,ive
tried everything i could think of to remedy the problem from a factory reset to removing
the batteries from the remote finnally decided it is a malfunction in the internal parts
of the set. (ps) yes i even tried the unplug the unit for specified times when it conks
out sanyo will not be on my buy list.

I just bought my new Blue Ray player sometime this spring. It hasn't even been used 100 hours. It has already layed down and died.
I bought piece of trash at Wal Mart. I'm finished with them too.
I haven't called Sanyo yet but after some of the comments I've read I don't know how much help I'll get from them. This was the second player I've bought from Sanyo. The first one layed down and died too.
I will be hitting Walmart.com. So if Sanyo starts seeing their sales from Walmart. They should read the comments. These comments go out to a lot of people. And I will let them know how unwilling walmart was to help.

Just wanted to reach out to sanyo and let them know that I have a sanyo microwave that I can proudly say that it's still going after 30 years. Wow, I tell everyone that I know about this microwave. I will absolutely purchase another one when it finally dies. And extra 20 second to heat but I can live with that. Hell it takes me an extra hour to heat up 😁. Awesome piece of machine.

Bought a Sanyo smart blue ray player at Walmart, it will say it connected to the internet, but then when I go to Netflix it says check connection? Or when I go to connection test AFTER it tells me it successfully connected to my internet, the connection test says network failed? This blue ray player that I just spent $60-$70 dollars on is garbage!!

I bought a Sanyo dvd player and it wont play movies. Very frustrating. Pretty much throwing money out the window. Terrible product

Just wanted to share with you corporation that I am very pleased with your products. I purchased a cuisine master microwave oven in 1984 and it is still in use today. I bought it for my first apartment and four moves later, I still use it almost everyday. Thanks for making great appliances.

Sanyo

Sanyo is one of my trusted brands when it comes to high-quality electronics. While their prices aren't anything really special, they last for a reasonably long time, with a warranty in place in the case that they don't.

I bought 47 lcd 1050 from Walmart in Dec 2010 and it lasted 18 months. I bought another same tv direct from Sanyo at a "discount" it only lasted 2 yrs. There should be a recall on this tv. It's not right that Sanyo can get away with selling a bad television like this. I am out 1200.00 total and have nothing to watch tv on except my laptop now.

I have two sanyo televsions and both of them have a horizontal line going through the middle of the tv's. They are both the same age bought around 2006. I cannot understand how both could have the same problem at the same time. In their terms and conditions they reserve the right to change or not show your complaint. I would say stay away from Sanyo Tv's

The owner's manual lacks, but the TV is good, and so was the tech support.

TV turns itself off every couple of hours, if your not there to exit the warning. Tech support said I had to hit the left arrow then exit then the right arrow to get a menu that allowed me to reset the TV to default, allow the TV to scan and that is supposed to fix it.
It's kinda like hacking the TV that info is not in the manual.

Bought a Sanyo 47 inch LCD TV from Walmart less than 1 year ago & it kept turning off randomly for no reason. We just dealt with it for awhile, but tonight my husband & I read TONS of reviews about other Sanyo TV's doing the same thing, & worse - turning off & staying off & not working at all! I saw this & read it to my husband who said, "At least we don't have that problem." Minutes later, we did. Our TV just turned off & won't go on anymore. NEVER buying anything Sanyo again, and I cannot believe they do not care anything at all for their brand name. What the heck?!

Wow, the reviews I have read this morning on Sanyo products all proceed to negativity, rightfully so. This company should be banned from selling their junk products in the United States of America!! My wife purchased me a 46" LCD TV from WALMART in June of 2008 for Fathers' Day. This TV was great until January 14th 2012, this TV was not used daily but was great when working. I turned it on and only had sound. I tried many things no believing that something that major was wrong. I found the owners manual and called, the tech told me in a few words basically I am screwed! Take it to the shop. This TV is only 3.5 years old and not used that much, he stated they are only good for about 15,000 hours, shouldn't we be made aware of this when we purchase them? My wife paid a $1,000 dollars for this piece of junk in 2008. Something needs to be done! I seriously think after reading all the negative reviews it is time to take legal action against Sanyo, they are selling a product that they know has a very short life expectancy. You will be hearing more and I may be contacting others about a class action lawsuit. This is just wrong.

Got a Sanyo HD Camcorder it only worked once and now won't charge at all.

Range of Good Products

Sanyo offers many electronics that are of high quality. They are about average for price and seem to be fairly durable.

Bought Micowave and door would not open, changed it and when plugged into the electric fused all the lights. Not at all satisfied. Would not recommend or buy Sanyo again.


.... April 15th, 2011


I too purchased a sanyo 19inch T.V. 3 years ago for our spare guest bedroom, only to have it not work when we have company- GREEN LIGHT COMES ON -NO PICTURE-NO SOUND-NOTHING-JUNK JUNK JUNK.I will never buy another SANYO product again


.... April 5th, 2011


I agree with all the negative comments on this site. My sisters and I bought my mom a Sanyo TV from Wal-Mart in July of '09. By December of 2010 the TV was cutting out periodically and by March of 2011 it was dead all together. Their customer service was terrible. No e-mail contact and I was told to call an 800# that was a joke. We will NEVER buy another Sanyo product and will not buy any big ticket item at Wal-Mart again. I have had Panasonic and LG TVs that have been working now for over 5 years with no problems.


.... March 31st, 2011


I payed 1163$ @ walmart for a 42 inch sanyo lcd 1080p, I thought i should by sanyo because its a "good brand" this was October of 2008. Boy was I wrong,I should have boughten any other brand! My screen is going black on the right side to the middle. Dont bother calling sanyo they don't care, what company does?? I dont know why I am wasting my breath but if anyone gets involved in a class action suit my email is [email protected]. I have the tv, the original receipt and box...Someone should really do something about this, where are all the lawyers out there!!!!!!!!


.... March 30th, 2011
