BACKGROUND:
In the effort to continuously improve the performance of our products, we need your
cooperation in completing the PDP report, e-mailing digital pictures and returning the
defective panel. PASC recognizes the additional time to perform these tasks so we will be
adding $100 to the warranty claim at the time of processing to compensate for the extra
time and to show appreciation for the extra efforts in assisting Panasonic in improving the
quality of our product offerings.
