    For Projectors, Video Processors and Controllers
    Congratulations on your purchase of a Planar video product and welcome to the Planar family! 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: Planar will pay for service labor by a Planar Authorized Service Center when needed as a result 
    of manufacturing defect for a period of two (2) years from the effective date of delivery to the end user 
    (excluding the lamp).
    PARTS (not including the lamp): Planar will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts that fail due to 
    defects in materials or workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the effective date of delivery to the end

    warranty period.
    PROJECTOR LAMP: Planar will pay for service labor by a Planar Authorized Service Center when needed as a 
    result of a manufacturing defect for a period of six (6) months or 1000 hours, whichever comes first, from the 
    effective date of delivery to the end user. In addition, Planar will provide a new or rebuilt replacement lamp for 
    the lamp that fails due to defects in materials or workmanship for a period of six (6) months or 1000 hours, 
    whichever comes first, from the effective date of delivery to the end user. Such replacement lamps are then 
    subsequently warranted for the remaining portion (if any) of the original warranty period.
    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.
    CAUTION: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS PLANAR PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM PLANAR AUTHORIZED 
    DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS WARRANTY. 
    MOREOVER, DAMAGE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP IS 
    SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT INSTALLATION 
    AND SETUP WORK BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED PLANAR DEALER TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER 
    THIS WARRANTY. THIS WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT YOU ENJOY THE FINE PERFORMANCE OF WHICH YOUR PLANAR 
    PRODUCT IS CAPABLE WHEN INSTALLED AND CALIBRATED BY PLANAR AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.

    Planar limits its obligations under any implied warranties under state laws to a period not to exceed the warranty 
    period. There are no express warranties. Planar also excludes any obligation on its part for incidental or 
    consequential damages related to the failure of this product to function properly. Some states do not allow 
    limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of 
    incidental or consequential damages. So the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty 
    gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
    This warranty begins on the effective date of delivery to the end user. For your convenience, keep the original 
    bill of sale as evidence of the purchase date.
    Please fill out and mail your warranty registration card. It is imperative that Planar knows how to reach you 
    promptly if we should discover a safety problem or product update for which you must be notified.
    Repairs made under the terms of this Limited Warranty covering your Planar video product will be performed at 
    the location of the product, during usual working hours, providing location of product is within normal operating 
    distance from a Planar Authorized Service Center. In some instances it may be necessary for the product to be 
    returned to the Planar factory for repairs. If, solely in Planar’s judgment, location of product to be repaired is 
    beyond normal operating distance of the closest Planar Authorized Service Center, or the repair requires the unit 
    be returned to the Planar factory, it is the owner’s responsibility to arrange for shipment of the product for repair. 
    These arrangements must be made through the selling Planar Dealer. If this is not possible, contact Planar 
    directly for a Return Authorization number and shipping instructions. Planar will return product transportation 
    prepaid in the United States, unless no product defect is discovered. In that instance, shipping costs will be the 
    responsibility of the owner.

    Thank you for your purchase of this quality Planar product! For best performance, please read this manual 
    carefully as it is your guide through the menus and operation.
     
    1. Read these instructions.
    2. Keep these instructions.
    3. Heed all warnings.
    4. Follow all instructions.
    5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
    6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
    7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
    8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including 
    amplifiers) that produce heat.
    9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades 
    with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide 
    blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, 
    consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
    10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles 
    and the point where they exit from the apparatus. 
    11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by Planar Systems.
    12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the 
    apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus to avoid injury from 
    tip-over.
    13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
    14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been 
    damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects 
    have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate 
    normally, or has been dropped.
    15. The +12V trigger only outputs 12Vdc signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. 
    This could cause damage to this unit.
    16. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.
    17. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 
    minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.
