Note: Pixel defects
Note: Lamp
DMDTM (Digital Micromirror DeviceTM) is one of the most
advanced technologies for consumer products. The
DMDTM made by high precision technology, however some
pixel defects may be found on the projected image. We
are trying our best to control the quality in order to reduce
the number of defective pixels. It is almost impossible to
have zero pixel defects, even using the most advanced
technology. This is not a problem only for Marantz, but all
DLPTM projector manufactures. Therefore we have to note
that the warranty does not cover the DMDTM for pixel
defects. We appreciate your understandings.
SHP lamp is one of the most advanced technologies for
consumer products. The lamp made by high precision
technology, however some lamps might be failing before it
reaches its life. And projector’s brightness is getting
darker along with accumulated lamp usage hours. We are
trying our best to control the quality in order to reduce
lamp failures. It is almost impossible to have zero failure,
even using the most advanced technology. This is not a
problem only for Marantz, but all projector manufactures.
Therefore we have to note that the warranty does not
cover the SHP lamp for lamp failures: explosion, and non-
lighting except initial use. And also we have to note that
the warranty does not cover the SHP lamp for lamp
failures: flickering, and getting darker along with
accumulated lamp usage hours. We appreciate your
understandings.
