workmanship, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company or Panasonic Puerto Rico,
Inc. (collectively referred to as “the warrantor”) will, for the length of the period
indicated on the chart below, which starts with the date of original purchase (“warranty
period”), at its option either (a) repair your product with new or refurbished parts, or (b)
replace it with a new or a refurbished product. The decision to repair or replace will be
made by the warrantor.
During the “Labor” warranty period there will be no charge for labor. During the “Parts”

Limited Warranty Limits And Exclusions
This warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or workmanship, and DOES
NOT COVER normal wear and tear or cosmetic damage. 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, 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 Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer, or damage that is
attributable to acts of God.
THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES EXCEPT AS LISTED UNDER “LIMITED
WARRANTY COVERAGE”. THE WARRANTOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS
PRODUCT, OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. (As
examples, this excludes damages for lost time, travel to and from the servicer, loss of
media or images, data or other memory 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 Servicenter. If the problem is not handled to your
