I have a Sanyo 46 Inch LED TV, The picture works fine until I change the channel on the cable box...Any time the screen goes black between commercials or between channels the screen goes out but sound still plays... If i turn the TV off and then back on it displays again just fine. If you have a weather APP open or something thats on the screen all the time the picture won't go out....Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

    This TV was nearly $600 new and I bought it off Craigslist for $50 because of this exact problem...after a divorce I don't have 600 bucks laying around to buy a New TV... just thought I'd risk it and see if I can find a solution to the problem!! All connections are good

    I understand. I'd look at Owner's manual troubleshooting, no help? email or talk to MFG customer service. Cable customer service may be willing to help. Is there a power saving or sleep mode option? If so try to change that probably the on screen menu.

Tv screen goes black after 15-20 seconds

It's not the TV from what I can tell. I would start complaining about it and say you want a brand new box. Not used. They tend to give out boxes from people who previously had them and either didn't pay their bill or moved and clean them up.

I have a Sanyo 46 inch flat screen hdtv purchased from walmart aug. 31rst, 2008. Sure enough, 13 months later my tv is having picture problems and getting worse. It started having portions of the screen...

I have the same problem, my television is faded black on the left side with lines on the left top side. I have had the 46 inch unit for 1 year and 7 months. I am planning to write a demand letter to Sanyo and then taking them to small claims court woth evidence that this is a common problem with their units that they know about and is not trying to remedy. Also the Attorney general in Texas should have an interest in them (Walmart and Sanyo) selling these defective proucts in the state.

No sound on my Sanyo LCD 32" flat screen tv

I had this same problem this morning. Luckily, when I reset the whole thing and did the channel search again the sound returned. I have no idea why it fixed it but it did. Hope this helps you.

Too much green color

Problem solved. I tried playing DVD and the TV picture was fine. So I double-checked cable wires from cable box - one of the wires was loose (obviously it was the red color input). After tightening, the TV picture is good as new.

Frozen on a menu screen

Just fixed ours with the same problem. You need to hit the volume buttons on the remote during the time the screen goes black but BEFORE it gives you the "Connect cables" message.It should trick the TV into giving you a blank channel.

Sanyo TVs are made notoriously cheap, and have little glitches like this. Best of luck, space cowboy.

Black out screen

I had the same problem once with my RCA television. It only happened on certain channels and didn't happen during commercial breaks. If I adjusted the volume on the tv the box went away, but came back shortly after. The problem ended up being some malfunction in the closed captioning. I turned it all off and changed the CC settings and never had the problem again.
