Scope and Duration of Warranty
Subject to the terms and conditions stated below, McIntosh Laboratory, Inc. (“McIntosh”) warrants
to the original owner that this Product shall be free from defects in workmanship or materials for a
term of three (3) years from the date when it was purchased from an Authorized McIntosh Dealer.
Provided, however, that rather than the three (3) years of coverage afforded the Product generally, where
applicable, vacuum tubes contained in our Products are warranted for 90 days from the date of purchase,
hard disc drives and projector lamps contained in our Products are warranted for one (1) year from the
date of purchase.
Limitations on Persons and Products Covered by this Warranty
This Warranty and all rights provided here under are limited to the original owner. In the event that the
original owner transfers ownership of the Product prior to expiration of the three-(3) year term, this
Warranty shall terminate in its entirety upon the date of such transfer. In addition, McIntosh does not
warrant in any way Products which are purchased from anyone who is not an Authorized McIntosh
Dealer, or which have had their Serial Numbers altered or defaced. Therefore this Warranty is void
and inapplicable if this Product has been purchased from someone other than an Authorized McIntosh
Dealer, or has had its original Serial Numbers altered or defaced.
Geographical Limitations
This Warranty has been included with a McIntosh Product that is designed, intended to be sold and used
only within the United States and Canada. Accordingly, this Warranty only applies to Products which
are purchased in the United States or Canada, and only applies while such Products are used in the
United States or Canada. Products purchased outside the United States or Canada, and failures occurring
outside the United States or Canada, are not covered by this Warranty.

shall return the Product to its owner at the owner’s expense. In the alternative, McIntosh may at its sole
option either replace the Product without charge, or if replacement is not commercially practicable
or repair or replacement cannot be accomplished within a reasonable time, McIntosh may refund the
purchase price of the Product, subject where appropriate to reasonable depreciation for actual use
in accordance with applicable laws, in full satisfaction of its warranty obligations. McIntosh or its
Authorized Service Agency will undertake to complete the repair and return of the Product as soon as
circumstances permit, unless prevented by causes beyond their reasonable control.
Limitations on McIntosh’s Obligations under the Warranty
McIntosh’s sole Obligation under this Warranty shall be to repair or replace the Product, or at its option
refund the purchase price, as provided for hereinabove. McIntosh does not warrant against, nor shall
it be liable for, any of the following: removal or installation charges; shipping expenses either to or
from McIntosh or its Authorized Service Agency; loss of use; property damage of any kind; or other
incidental or consequential damages or losses of any kind.
Note: Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the foregoing
exclusions may not apply to you.

To obtain service under this Warranty, the owner must at the owner’s expense arrange for any necessary
de-installation of the Product, and deliver or ship the Product to McIntosh at the address below, or
to an Authorized McIntosh Service Agency, properly packaged, prepaid, and insured at the owner’s
expense. In addition, the owner must provide evidence that the Product is at the time of delivery within
the scope of his Warranty, by either having completed and submitted to McIntosh on a timely basis the
accompanying Warranty Registration Card, or by including the original sales receipt (photocopies are
not acceptable) with the Product when it is delivered for repair.
What the Owner must Pay For
As noted above, the owner must pay any expense of removing the Product from its installation, and
must pay any expenses for delivery of the Product to McIntosh or the Authorized McIntosh Service
