During the “Labor” warranty period there will be no charge for labor. During the “Parts” warranty period, there will be no
charge for parts. You must carry-in or mail-in your product or arrange for in-home service, as applicable, during the warranty
period. If non-rechargeable batteries are included, they are not warranted. This warranty only applies to products purchased
and serviced in the United States or Puerto Rico. This warranty is extended only to the original purchaser of a new product
which was not sold “as is”. A purchase receipt or other proof of the original purchase date is required for warranty service.
Carry-In, Mail-in or In-Home Service
For Carry-In, Mail-In or In-Home Service (as applicable) in the United States call toll free contact number listed above or visit
Panasonic Web Site: http://www.panasonic.com
For assistance in Puerto Rico call Panasonic Sales Company (787)-750-4300 or fax (787)-768-2910.
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 Exclusions
This 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, 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, cost of having someone remove or re-install an installed unit if applicable, or travel 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 Servicenter. 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.
PARTS AND SERVICE (INCLUDING COST OF AN IN-HOME SERVICE CALL, WHERE APPLICABLE) WHICH ARE
NOT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
