WARRANTY COVERAGE PERIOD EXCEPTIONS
Panasonic Canada Inc. (also known as PCI) warrants this product to be \
free of 
defects in material and workmanship under normal use during the applicab\
le 
warranty coverage period described below. PCI agrees to repair, or at it\
s option, 
exchange, any part that becomes defective. However, the product must be \
purchased and serviced in Canada. The product or part that shows evidenc\
e of 
defect must be delivered prepaid or carried in to an authorized Panasoni\
c Broadcast 
Service Center. This warranty does not cover shipping costs. 
The warranty coverage period is one year for both parts and labour begin\
ning with 
the date of original end user purchase, subject to the exceptions as sta\
ted below. 
Repaired or replacement parts supplied during the warranty coverage peri\
od carry 
the unexpired portion of the original warranty coverage period. Proof of\
 product 
purchase is a condition of warranty service. The owner must produce the \
product 
purchase receipt or other satisfactory evidence of date of original purc\
hase.
 
This warranty does not apply to external appearance items, such as handl\
es, knobs, 
safety windows, etc. This warranty does not apply to any part, or parts,\
 of the 
product, installed, altered, repaired or misused in any way that, in the\
 opinion of PCI, 
affects the reliability of or detracts from the performance of the produ\
ct. 
For products requiring routine preventive maintenance, that maintenance \
must be 
performed in order to maintain warranty coverage. 
Serial numbers that have been altered, defaced or removed void this warr\
anty. This 
warranty does not cover replacements or repairs necessitated by loss or \
damage 
resulting from any cause beyond the control of PCI. 
Marking or retained images (sometimes called “burn-in”) resultin\
g from the display of 
fixed images on video display products are not defects and are not cover\
ed under 
this warranty.
In certain instances, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or l\
imitation of 
incidental or consequential damages, or the exclusion of implied warrant\
ies, so the 
above limitations and exclusions may not be applicable. Warranty Service

bly in the 
original carton) and enclose a letter, detailing the complaint. Send pr\
epaid and

PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL PANASONIC CANADA INC. BE LIABLE FOR 
ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
