THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SETS FORTH CERTAIN RIGHTS AS WELL AS CERTAIN WARRANTY
DISCLAIMERS AND EXCLUSIONS FOR DEMO OR REFURBISHED (B-STOCK) HITACHI PROJECTOR
PRODUCTS (EXCEPT FOR THOSE HITACHI PROJECTOR MODELS THAT HAVE SPECIAL

PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY.
1. Limited Warranty. Hitachi America, Ltd. (“Hitachi”) stands behind the quality of its products
and warrants to original end user purchasers in the United States of America only that demo or
refurbished (B-Stock) projector products will be free from defects in material and workmanship for
nine (9) months from the date of original purchase from an authorized Hitachi dealer in the United
States of America, subject to the exceptions, exclusions and disclaimers set forth below. This war-
ranty extends to the original end user purchaser only and cannot be transferred to another individ-
ual or organization.
2. Exceptions to Limited Warranty. The following items are exceptions to the above limited nine
month warranty and are not covered by the warranty or are subject to different warranty periods:
(a) The warranty for accessories (except batteries) is for parts only and is effective for a period of
60 days only after the date of purchase of the projector. Batteries are not covered by this warran-
ty under any circumstances.
(b) The warranty for lamps that are included as original equipment in the projectors is for parts
only and is effective for a period of 60 days after the date of purchase of the projector.
(c) The warranty period for LCD panels (including polarizers) is either 9 months from the date of
purchase of the projector or 2500 hours of projector usage, whichever occurs first. If within 9
months from the date of purchase of the projector, the LCD panel requires replacement and is
otherwise eligible for warranty coverage, but the projector has exceeded 2500 hours of usage,
Hitachi’s warranty will cover the cost of labor, but not the cost of parts that require replacement.
(d) All repaired or replaced parts subject to this Section 2 shall be warranted only for the remain-
der of the original warranty period specified for such parts in this Section 2.
3. General W
arranty Exclusions. This warranty shall not apply and Hitachi shall have no obligation
pursuant to this warranty if in Hitachi’s judgment:
(a) you or any third party has modified, repaired or attempted to modify or repair the product with-
out obtaining Hitachi’s prior written authorization;
(b) the identification markings on your Hitachi product have been removed, defaced or altered;
(c) your Hitachi product was damaged or malfunctions due to accident, disaster, abuse, improper
use, misuse, mishandling, mispackaging, shipping, exposure to dust and/or smoke, or electrical
shock and/or power surges;
(d) your Hitachi product was not installed on a system configured as specified in the user’s manual
or was otherwise improperly installed;
(e) your Hitachi product was subjected to operating conditions outside of the range specified in the
user’s manual or this Warranty;
(f) you or any user of the Hitachi product failed to follow the user’s manual, including but not limited
to the manual’s instructions regarding the proper handling, operation, service and/or maintenance
of the product.
4. Specific Warranty Exclusions. In addition, this limited warranty does not cover normal wear
and tear of the projector, including, but not limited to image burn-in or scratches or marks on the
surface of the projector’s lens and/or cabinet. Please also note the following warranty disclaimers
and exclusions:
(a) Hitachi’s projectors are manufactured in accordance with high quality standards. However, the
specifications of Hitachi’s projectors may not meet, and are not warranted to satisfy, all require-
ments of professional or high-end home theater applications.
(b) The RGB and DVI input terminals of Hitachi’s projector are intended for computer data transfer
and are not designed for video signal transfer, including but not limited to the transfer of DVD sig-
nals from a computer, DVD player or any other device. For best results in video applications, com-
ponent inputs are recommended.
(c) Hitachi’s 1365 x 1024 resolution projectors do not remap 1280 x 1024 signals or any other
signals to 1365 x 1024 resolution. SXGA input will be reproduced as standard SXGA output.
(d) Please note that in certain projectors, tiny dark pixels or bright pixels may continuously appear
on the image. This pixel phenomenon is normal, does not indicate a malfunction and is not a war-
ranted defect.
(e) Please note that in certain projectors, black or very dark signals may be reproduced with some
non-black hues. This color reproduction phenomenon is normal, does not indicate a malfunction
and is not a warranted defect.
