Last summer my Sanyo PLV-Z5 (only a few months old) overheated, thermaled, and powered off. I could not power it back on. According to the manual, there is an error indication that should have happened before it got that hot. If, for...

I've been having a warranty service issue with Sanyo over a problem with my PLV-Z5. The service manager there is a guy named Daniel Rasmussen. I have not gotten any kind of satisfactory response from him so I simply asked him who his...

Thanks! That makes sense. I would much rather clean it myself, however, than have to send it somewhere. Do you know how to access the LCDs? Or maybe someplace on the web that might have some guidance as to how to do this? I've looked...

I got a Sanyo Z2 a couple of months ago. It had a very faint blurry green spot about 6" in diameter in the lower left area of the screen. It would only show when the screen was black and didn't interfere with the picture so I was pretty...
