What we will do:

During the initial 90 days

Exchange your camcorder with a new or refurbished unit, or repair your camcorder. The option will be ours. There will be no cost to you.

After the 90 days and within one year

Exchange your camcorder with a new or refurbished unit, or repair your camcorder. The option will be ours. Parts will be provided at no charge, but you will be responsible for the cost of labor required for the repair.

How you get service:

Call 1-800-283-6503 and have your unit’s date of purchase and model/serial number ready. The model/serial number information is on the bottom of your camcorder.

A representative will troubleshoot your problem over the phone.
