purchase receipt or other proof of the original purchase date is required for warranty service.

In-Home service, if applicable, requires clear, complete and easy access to the product by the authorized servicer and does not include 
removal or re-installation of an installed product. It is possible that certain in-home repairs will not be completed in-home, but will require 
that the product, or parts of the product, be removed for shop diagnosis and/or repair and then returned.
Limited Warranty Limits And ExclusionsThis warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or workmanship, and DOES NOT COVER normal wear and tear or 
cosmetic damage, nor does it cover markings or retained images on the picture tube resulting from viewing fixed images (including, 
among other things, letterbox pictures on standard 4:3 screen TV’s, or non-expanded standard 4:3 pictures on wide screen TV’s, or 
onscreen data in a stationary and fixed 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, bug 
infestation, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, set-up adjustments, misadjustment of consumer controls, improper 
maintenance, power line surge, lightning damage, modification, or commercial use (such as in a hotel, office, restaurant, or other 
business), rental use of the product, service by anyone other than a Factory Service Center or other Authorized Servicer, or damage that 
is attributable to acts of God.

to and from the servicer, loss of media or images, data or  other memory or recorded content. The items listed are not exclusive, but are 
for illustration only.)
ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARE 
LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY.
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. This warranty gives you specific 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 Service Center. If the problem is not handled to your satisfaction, then write to the warrantor’s Consumer Affairs Department at the 
addresses listed for the warrantor.
