letterbox pictures on standard 4:3 screen TV’s, or non-expanded standard 4:3 pic tures on wide screen TV’s, or onscreen data in a stationary 
and fi 
xed location). The warranty ALSO DOES NOT COVER damages which occurred in shipment, or failures which are caused by products 
not supplied by the warrantor, or failures which result from accidents, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty 
installation, set-up adjustments, misadjustment of consumer controls, improper maintenance, power line surge, lightning damage, modifi

listed are not exclusive, but are for illustration only.)
ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty 
lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you.

c legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. If a problem with this product 
develops during or after the warranty period, you may contact your dealer or Servicenter. If the problem is not handled to your satisfaction,
