repair and then returned.

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),

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
