Having a new TV can be exciting, but it can be a hassle to configure and change every minuscule setting to your preferences. In addition, some settings on your TV can be confusing and time-consuming if you don’t know where to start. If you have a Sanyo TV, here are the ways you can set up your television the easy ways, with or without a remote.
Sanyo TV Setup
1. Sanyo Remote Control
If you switch your Sanyo TV on, a setup wizard will automatically pop on the screen. Using your Sanyo remote control, toggle between your preferences in visual, network settings, updates (if you are connected to a network), channel settings, and your TV’s internal clock.
To tweak these settings, make use of the up and down arrow (▲|▼) and select the option you want to work. Once an option is highlighted, select it by pressing the left button (►), which will let you access the next options.
The environmental setup allows you to choose your location and the picture/sound settings of your TV, Network Setup lets you access the internet via a wired or wireless interface. If the TV is connected to a network, it will automatically update files and software on your TV.
As for the Channel Setup, toggle with the preferred channels by following the prompts that will appear. Lastly, a clock setting will appear to let you adjust the TV’s internal clock. If you need to readjust these preferences, press the Menu button on your remote to access these options.

2. Universal Remote Control
Having a Universal Remote Control will clear the clutter of too many remotes. With a Universal Remote, you only need to toggle from device to device without the hassle of picking up a different remote.
To set up your Sanyo TV with a universal remote control, you first need to look up the frequency code of your TV.
For manual input remotes, the Sanyo TV frequency code is 049, but do note that this might differ from model to model. Therefore, it would be advisable to look for your Sanyo TV’s specific model and frequency code.
Once you acquire the code, turn on your TV and press and hold the Setup button on your remote. While the light is blinking, input the code and test if your remote and TV are now in sync. If you can toggle the channel, volume, and other inputs, then you have successfully finished your Sanyo TV setup.
3. Xfinity Remote
If you have an Xfinity remote, you will be happy to know that it can be programmed to control your audio device, soundbar, and even your Sanyo TV!
All you have to do is get your TV manufacturer’s code, and look up what model is your Xfinity remote. The full list of models and codes is available on the Xfinity website.
After you find the right code, you need to press and hold the setup button on your remote until the LED light at the top part of your remote changes from red to green. Afterward, input the manufacturer’s code using the numpad of your remote.
Once the code is entered, the LED should flash green twice. Now you can control your TV’s power volume and inputs with your Xfinity Remote.
4. Without Remote Control
No Remote? No worries! If you have a smartphone in hand all you need to do is download the Sanyo TV remote app and use it just like a physical remote! Follow the setup from the mobile app [1], and use the functions from the app to set up your Sanyo TV conveniently.
