The JBL Limited Warranty on PRX800 is in effect for three years from the date of the first consumer purchase. 

Who Is Protected By This Warranty?

Your JBL Warranty protects the original owner and all subsequent owners so long as: A.) Your JBL product 

has been purchased in the Continental United States, Hawaii or Alaska. (This Warranty does not apply to JBL 

products purchased elsewhere except for purchases by military outlets. Other purchasers should contact the 

local JBL distributor for warranty information.); and B.) The original dated bill of sale is presented whenever 

warranty service is required.

What Does The JBL Warranty Cover?

Except as specified below, your JBL Warranty covers all defects in material and workmanship. The following are 

not covered: Damage caused by accident, misuse, abuse, product modification or neglect; damage occurring 

during shipment; damage resulting from failure to follow instructions contained in your Instruction Manual; 

damage resulting from the performance of repairs by someone not authorized by JBL; claims based upon any 

misrepresentations by the seller; any JBL product on which the serial number has been defaced, modified or 

removed.

Who Pays For What?

JBL will pay all labor and material expenses for all repairs covered by this warranty. Please be sure to save 

the original shipping cartons because a charge will be made if replacement cartons are requested. Payment of 

shipping charges is discussed in the next section of this warranty.

Department), 8500 Balboa Boulevard, PO. Box 2200, Northridge, California 91329 (818/893-8411). We may

you’ll need to present the original bill of sale to establish the date of purchase. Please do not ship your JBL

difficulties, please advise us and we may make special arrangements with you. Otherwise, you are responsible 

for transporting your product for repair or arranging for its transportation and for payment of any initial shipping 

charges. However, we will pay the return shipping charges if repairs are covered by the warranty.
