THREE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

For Plasma Displays

Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco 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 many years of 
unparalleled video performance.

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. 

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.

Image burn-in on plasma display panels is 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.

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.

TO AVOID IMAGE RETENTION (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).

This Limited Warranty only covers failure due to defects in materials and workmanship that occur during normal use and does 
not cover normal maintenance. This Limited Warranty does not cover cabinets or any appearance items; failure resulting from 
accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, faulty or improper installation or setup adjustments; improper 
maintenance, alteration, improper use of any input signal; damage due to lightning or power line surges, spikes and 
brownouts; damage that occurs during shipping or transit; or damage that is attributed to acts of God. In the case of remote 
control units, damage resulting from leaking, old, damaged or improper batteries is also excluded from coverage under this 
Limited Warranty.
