Limited Warranty Coverage

If your product does not work properly because of a defect in materials or workmanship, Panasonic Consumer 
Electronics Company or Panasonic Puerto Rico, Inc. (collectively referred to as “the warrantor”) will, for the length of 
the period indicated on the chart below, which starts with the date of original purchase (“Limited Warranty period”), 
at its option either (a) repair your product with new or refurbished parts, or (b) replace it with a new or a refurbished 
product. The decision to repair or replace will be made by the warrantor.

During the “Labor” Limited Warranty period there will be no charge for labor. During the “Parts” Limited Warranty 
period, there will be no charge for parts.
You must carry-in your product or arrange for on-site service during the Limited Warranty period. If non-rechargeable 
batteries are included, they are not warranted. This Limited Warranty only applies to products purchased and 
serviced in the United States or Puerto Rico. This Limited Warranty is extended only to the original purchaser and 
only covers product purchased as new. A purchase receipt or other proof of the original purchase date is required for 
Limited Warranty service.

On-Site or Carry-in Service

For On-Site or Carry-In Service in the United States call 1-877-95-VIERA (1-877-958-4372).
For assistance in Puerto Rico call Panasonic Puerto Rico, Inc. (787)-750-4300 or fax (787)-768-2910.

On-site service where 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 on-site repairs will not 
be completed on-site, but will require that the product or parts of the product, at the servicer’s discretion be removed 
for shop diagnosis and/or repair and then returned.

Limited Warranty Limits And Exclusions

This Limited 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 Limited 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, bug 
infestation, 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 Service 
Center 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 LIMITED 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. The items listed are not exclusive, but are for illustration only.) 

ALL 

EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE LIMITED 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 Limited Warranty lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you.

This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have others rights which vary from state 
to state. If a problem with this product develops during or after the Limited Warranty period, you may contact your 
dealer or Service Center. 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 ON-SITE SERVICE CALL, WHERE APPLICABLE) WHICH 
ARE NOT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
