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. 

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.

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.
