This warranty excludes all stand-alone “electronic equipment” using microchip, microprocessor or transistor technology, such as but not limited to computers, televisions, DVD Players/Recorders and Security Systems

I agree. The SECO cost is $350, not $200. Also, I would suggest reading the entire "exclusions" clause in the warranty. The warranty covers almost nothing. It doesn't even cover damage to an electrical outlet.
