Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco® product! With proper installation, setup and care, you should enjoy many years 
of unparalleled video performance. 
This RuncoCare Standard Limited Warranty is provided free of charge by Runco International, LLC (“Runco”) with the purchase 
of a covered Runco product. The following sets forth Runco’s Standard Limited Warranty applicable to all Runco projectors, 
processors, LCD display and plasma display products, with the exception of the following models: XP-103DHD, SC-1, SC-1a,

The following terms and conditions of the RuncoCare Standard Limited Warranty represent a contract between us, Runco, and 
you, the customer, who has purchased a Runco product. This contract applies to purchases of covered Runco products 
occurring on or after February 11, 2010. Runco reserves the right to change the terms of this contract, and such changes 
shall apply to purchases of covered Runco products that occur on or after any future effective date.
 Two-year protection from defects in material and workmanship 
 Access to 24x7 phone support

Runco warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship during the warranty period provided below. 
If, in Runco’s sole determination, a product proves to be defective in material or workmanship during the warranty period, 
Runco will repair the product, replace the product with a substantially similar new or like-new product, or refund a prorata 
share of the purchase price (calculated based on the remainder of the warranty period and the then-current MSRP
2 of a similar 
product), if repair or replacement of the product is determined by Runco to not be feasible. Runco has sole discretion in 
determining whether a same or like model is offered, and what constitutes a “substantially similar model.”
Runco products are warranted for two (2) years from the date of shipment from Runco. Lamps are warranted six (6) months 
from the date of shipment or 1000 hours of use, whichever comes first. All other accessories, which include but are not limited 
to, cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens cap and other peripherals sold with the Runco product, are warranted for ninety (90) 
days from the date of the original shipment of the accessory.
This RuncoCare Standard Limited Warranty is valid only for the first customer who purchases the covered product from an 
authorized Runco dealer or distributor. This warranty is not transferable. You may be required to provide proof of purchase in 
order to receive warranty services. 
1. Runco may update this list of products excluded from this warranty from time to time at Runco’s sole discretion, but updates to 
the list of covered products will not apply on a retroactive basis.

In the event of a product defect, please follow the warranty claim procedure provided below: 
1. The Customer is required to contact a Runco dealer or Runco Technical Support via email at [email protected] or via 
phone at (toll free) (800) 23RUNCO (800-237-8626). If the customer is located outside North America, call +3589 4200 
554 in Europe for product service. 
2. Be prepared to provide the date of purchase, the place of purchase, serial number, product model number, description of 
the problem and troubleshooting steps already attempted. 
3. Runco Technical Support staff will attempt to correct any minor issues that may be causing the problem. If Runco is 
unable to resolve the problem through troubleshooting, a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number will be issued for the 
exchange of the defective product if it is determined that the claim was made within the coverage period of the Standard 
Limited Warranty.
4. If it is determined that the Standard Limited Warranty applies to the claim, the customer will need to return the defective 
product to the Runco repair depot location specified by the Runco technical support representative. The customer will 
need to properly package the defective product, consisting of the product only, and not include any accessories (e.g., 
cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens cap and other peripherals) and return it to the Runco repair depot specified by 
the technical support representative. It is the customer’s responsibility to properly package the hardware, include all 
appropriate materials, and return it to the location specified by the Runco technical support department. The customer will 
need to address and resolve any shipping damage claims directly with the shipping company.
5. The customer is responsible for providing a suitable box to ship the defective product to an authorized Runco repair depot. 
Boxes may be purchased from a Runco technical support representative. 
6. The customer is responsible for paying freight charges to ship the defective product to an authorized Runco repair depot. 
7. For in-warranty repairs, Runco will pay freight charges to return the repaired/replacement product (which shall not include 
accessories--e.g., cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens cap and other peripherals sold with the Runco product) to the 
customer from the Runco repair depot.
8. Once an RMA has been created, the customer may contact [email protected] for followup questions or 
confirmation status of the claim process. 
This RuncoCare Standard Limited Warranty does not include or is limited by the following: 
1. Products not purchased from an authorized Runco dealer 
2. Rental costs incurred by the customer in the event of product defect or failure 
3. Any product with a defaced, modified, or removed serial number 
4. Damage, deterioration, or malfunction resulting from: 
a Accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, improper ventilation, fire, water, disaster, lightning, or other acts of nature, smoke

to follow instructions supplied with the product 
b Repair or attempted repair by anyone not authorized by Runco 
c Any damage to the product due to shipment 
d Removal or installation of the product 
e Causes external to the product, such as electric power fluctuations or failure 
f Use of supplies or parts (including lamps) that are not purchased from Runco or do not meet Runco’s specifications

h Expected lamp degradation and normal decrease in lamp output over a period of time or as the lamp is consumed 
i Customer caused defects, including but not limited to, scratched/defaced/altered plastics 
j Failure to follow maintenance procedures as outlined in the product’s user guide where a schedule is specified for 
regular cleaning of the product 
k Opening the product and/or tampering with internal circuitry 
l Products lost, stolen or discarded 
m Any damage or dissatisfaction associated with latent images, “burnin,” or any other damage determined by Runco to be 
the result of customer use patterns 
n Any other cause, which does not relate to a product defect in material or workmanship 
5. Removal, installation, and setup service charges are excluded from this Standard Limited warranty 
6. Black uniformity issues or other LCD issues associated with usage outside the Runco recommended guidelines and 
specifications for the product 
7. Bright or dark sub pixels that are characteristic of LCD technology and considered by Runco to be acceptable and within 
Runco’s manufacturing specifications. (See “Sub Pixel Policy,” below.)
8. Second day shipment delivery time and availability may vary based on origin and destination and Runco is unable to deliver 
to PO Box and FPO Box addresses 
It is not uncommon for one or more sub pixels to become bright or dark during or after the manufacturing process. A bright 
sub pixel is one that remains in the on position, and a dark sub pixel is one that appears black or off. The sub pixels are usually 
hard to see and will not detract from the display quality or usability at normal viewing distance. The following are Runco’s 
criteria for identifying bright or dark sub pixels that would be considered unacceptable: a) the number of bright or dark sub 
pixels; b) the location of the bright or dark sub pixels; c) the color of the bright sub pixels; and d) the Runco model size. If sub 
pixels have been identified as unacceptable by Runco the LCD will be deemed faulty and will be replaced if reported within the 
warranty period. If there are issues with bright or dark sub pixels, gather the information listed above and call or email 
[email protected].
1. Runco will not accept returned Product unless an RMA number has been issued by Runco.
2. If an Advance Exchange return occurs, it is the customer’s responsibility to properly package the defective product and 
ship it to the address provided by the Runco technical support representative with the RMA number prominently 
displayed. If the defective product is not properly packaged and is damaged in transit during its return to Runco, you may 
be invoiced for either the repair costs, if repairable, or the MSRP of a replacement product and shipping costs incurred by 
Runco.
3. The repaired or replaced product will assume the remainder of your original product’s RuncoCare Service Plan term or 90 
days from the date the repaired unit is shipped, whichever is longer.
4. If a replacement product is sent, the customer agrees to retain the replacement for the product you purchased and your 
defective product becomes the property of Runco.
Runco offers extended and expanded service plans. For information on additional product protection, please email 
[email protected] or call (toll free) (800) 23RUNCO (800-237-8626).
