Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco International video product and welcome to the Runco family! We believe
Runco produces “The World’s Finest Home Theater Products”. With proper installation, setup and care, you should enjoy

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: Runco will pay for service labor by a Runco Authorized Service Center when needed as a result of
a manufacturing defect for a period of three (3) years from the effective date of delivery to the end user (excluding the
plasma glass panel).
PARTS: (Not including plasma glass panel) Runco will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts that fail due to
defects in materials or workmanship for a period of three (3) years 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.
PLASMA GLASS PANEL: Runco will pay for service labor by a Runco 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. In addition, Runco
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 burn-in on plasma display panels are specifically excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty. Image burn-
in is the result of misuse of the product and therefore cannot be repaired under the terms of this Limited Warranty.
TO AVOID IMAGE BURN-IN:
Please ensure that still images are left on your plasma display panel for no more than a few minutes. 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 image burns on your plasma 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).
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.
