I bought my Panamax 5100 3 weeks ago at Y3K Technologies. It's not an authorized dealer but being in Southern California, I do not have to worry about thunderstorms and the equipment warranty.
I am curious as to why the equipment warranty is only valid if the unit is bought from authorized dealer. Whether the unit is from authorized dealer or Internet companies, don't they all supplied by Panamax?
Is it because the auth. dealer costs include extra charges for the equipment warranty?
