WHO IS COVERED?

You must have proof of purchase to receive warranty

WHAT IS COVERED?

Warranty coverage begins the day you buy your product.

For one year thereafter,

all parts will be repaired or replaced,

and labor is free. After one year from the day of purchase,
you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts, and for
all labor charges.
All parts, including repaired and replaced parts, are covered
only for the original warranty period.When the warranty
on the product expires, the warranty on all replaced and
repaired parts also expires.

adjustment of customer controls on the product, and
installation or repair of antenna systems outside of the

accident, unauthorized repair or other cause not within
the control of Philips Consumer Electronics Company.

• reception problems caused by signal conditions or cable

or antenna systems outside the unit.

enable it to operate in any country other than the
country for which it was designed, manufactured,
approved and/or authorized, or repair of products
damaged by these modifications.

• incidental or consequential damages resulting from the

product. (Some states do not allow the exclusion of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above

limited to, prerecorded material, whether copyrighted or
not copyrighted.)

purposes.
