I'm trying to figure out what is meant by this comment.  Are you
saying Sanyo is bad, Toshiba is bad, or both compared to Hitachi?
If you are knocking Toshiba, then I have to disagree.  I have a
19" Toshiba color television that I bought back in 1978.  People
still remark on the good quality of the picture, and I have never
had a problem with it.  My only experience with Hitachi, however,
was not nearly so good.  I bought a cassette deck which was
supposed to be a good one, but I thought the sound was terrible
and quickly replaced it.  I also have a Toshiba receiver and the
only problem I've encountered is that both times my house was
zapped by lightning (yes, twice and at 2 different locations!),
the receiver had many parts blown.  I can hardly blame Toshiba for
that.
