LIMITED WARRANTY

WHO IS COVERED?

You must have proof of purchase to receive warranty
service. A sales receipt or other document showing that
you purchased the product is considered proof of purchase.

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.

Your warranty does not cover:
• labor charges for installation or setup of the product,

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

• product repair and/or part replacement because of misuse,

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.

• a product that requires modification or adaptation to

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
exclusion may not apply to you.This includes, but is not
limited to, prerecorded material, whether copyrighted or
not copyrighted.)

• a product that is used for commercial or institutional

purposes.

Electronics Company does not distribute the product, the
local Philips service organization will attempt to provide
service (although there may be a delay if the appropriate
spare parts and technical manual(s) are not readily
available).
