    PROJECTOR LAMP: Vidikron will pay for service labor by a Vidikron Authorized Service Center when needed as a result of a

    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

    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 VIDIKRON PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM VIDIKRON 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

    Vidikron limits its obligations under any implied warranties under state laws to a period not to exceed the warranty period. There 
    are no express warranties. Vidikron 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 Vidikron 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 Vidikron 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 Vidikron 
    Authorized Service Center. In some instances it may be necessary for the product to be returned to the Vidikron factory for repairs. 
    If, solely in Vidikron’s judgment, location of product to be repaired is beyond normal operating distance of the closest Vidikron 
    Authorized Service Center, or the repair requires the unit be returned to the Vidikron factory, it is the owner’s responsibility to 
    arrange for shipment of the product for repair. These arrangements must be made through the selling Vidikron Dealer. If this is not 
    possible, contact Vidikron directly for a Return Authorization number and shipping instructions. Vidikron 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 Vidikron video projector! It has been designed to provide you with the quality of video 
    that is expected in a home theater. For the best performance, please read this manual carefully as it is your guide through the 
    menus and operation.
    This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC 
    Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
    1. Read these instructions.
    2. Keep these instructions.
    3. Heed all warnings.
    4. Do not use this equipment near water, outdoors or otherwise exposed to the elements.
    5. Clean only with a dry cloth.
    6. Do not block any ventilation openings.
    7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that 
    produce heat.
    8. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized type plug has two blades with one wider 
    than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. 
    If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
    9. The 12V trigger only outputs DC 12V signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could cause 
    damage to this unit.
    10. Only use accessories specified by Vidikron.
    11. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.
    12. Unplug this projector during lightning storms or when it will not be used for an extended period of time.
    13. 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. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps 
    beyond rated life could cause them to explode in rare occasions.
    14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the projector has been damaged in any way, 
    objects have fallen or spilled into the projector, the projector has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, 
    or has been dropped.
