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.

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

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.
