LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT

(for Canada)

Panasonic Canada Inc. (also known as PCI) warrants this product to be free of
defects in material and workmanship under normal use during the applicable
warranty coverage period described below. PCI agrees to repair, or at its option,
exchange, any part that becomes defective. However, the product must be
purchased and serviced in Canada. The product or part that shows evidence of
defect must be delivered prepaid or carried in to an authorized Panasonic Broadcast
Service Center. This warranty does not cover shipping costs.

The warranty coverage period is one year for both parts and labour beginning with
the date of original end user purchase, subject to the exceptions as stated below.
Repaired or replacement parts supplied during the warranty coverage period carry
the unexpired portion of the original warranty coverage period. Proof of product
purchase is a condition of warranty service. The owner must produce the product
purchase receipt or other satisfactory evidence of date of original purchase.

This warranty does not apply to external appearance items, such as handles, knobs,
safety windows, etc. This warranty does not apply to any part, or parts, of the
product, installed, altered, repaired or misused in any way that, in the opinion of PCI,
affects the reliability of or detracts from the performance of the product.

For products requiring routine preventive maintenance, that maintenance must be
performed in order to maintain warranty coverage.

Serial numbers that have been altered, defaced or removed void this warranty. This
warranty does not cover replacements or repairs necessitated by loss or damage
resulting from any cause beyond the control of PCI.

Marking or retained images (sometimes called “burn-in”) resulting from the display of
fixed images on video display products are not defects and are not covered under
this warranty.

THIS EXPRESS, LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL PANASONIC CANADA INC. BE LIABLE FOR
ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

In certain instances, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, or the exclusion of implied warranties, so the
above limitations and exclusions may not be applicable.
