One Year Limited Warranty - Planar PD520 Owner's Operating Manual

ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

Congratulations on your purchase of a Planar video product and welcome to the Planar family! With proper
installation, setup and care, you should enjoy many years of unparalleled video performance.
This is a LIMITED WARRANTY as defined in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Please read it carefully and retain it
with your other important documents.
WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:
SERVICE LABOR: Planar will pay for service labor by Planar Authorized Service Center when needed as a result of
a manufacturing defect for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end user.
PARTS: Planar will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts that fail due to defects in materials or
workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end user. Such replacement
parts are then subsequently warranted for the remaining portion (if any) of the original warranty period.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:
Image retention on LCD display panels is specifically excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty.
Image retention or staining of an image is the result of misuse of the product and therefore cannot be repaired
under the terms of this Limited Warranty.
Normal viewing material such as television/satellite broadcasts, videotape or DVDs (not put into pause for
extended periods of time) will not cause damage to your display under normal conditions. Many DVD players
are also equipped with screen savers for this reason.
TO AVOID IMAGE RETENTION (Burn-in): Please ensure that still images are not left on your LCD display panel. Also
ensure that images displayed in the 4:3 aspect ratio mode (black or gray stripes, but no picture information is
present on the left and right edges of the screen) are used as infrequently as possible. This will prevent
permanent retention on your LCD display panel, which can be seen permanently under certain conditions once
burn-in has occurred.
The types of images to avoid include video games, still images and computer screens with stationary tool bars
and icons. (This is why computers are equipped with screen savers – to prevent still images from burning into the
monitor's phosphors after being displayed continuously for an extended period of time).
This Limited Warranty only covers failure due to defects in materials and workmanship that occur during normal
use and does not cover normal maintenance. This Limited Warranty does not cover cabinets or any
appearance items; failure resulting from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, faulty or
improper installation or setup adjustments; improper maintenance, alteration, improper use of any input signal;
damage due to lightning or power line surges, spikes and brownouts; damage that occurs during shipping or
transit; or damage that is attributed to acts of God. In the case of remote control units, damage resulting from
leaking, old, damaged or improper batteries is also excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty.
CAUTION: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS PLANAR PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM PLANAR AUTHORIZED
DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS WARRANTY.
MOREOVER, DAMAGE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP IS
SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT INSTALLATION
AND SETUP WORK BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED PLANAR DEALER TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER
THIS WARRANTY. THIS WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT YOU ENJOY THE FINE PERFORMANCE OF WHICH YOUR PLANAR
PRODUCT IS CAPABLE WHEN INSTALLED AND CALIBRATED BY PLANAR AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.
