DIGITALTELEVISIONTRANSITION NOTICE
This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the airTV programming,
with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analogTV broadcasting in the United States on June
12 2009. Some older television receivers, if they rely on aTV antenna, will need aTV Converter to
receive over the air digital programming, but should continue to work as before for other purposes (e.g.,
for watching low-powerTV stations still broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies, or playing
video games).
For more information,
call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322)
or see www.DTV.gov.
For information on theTV Converter program, and on government coupons that may be used toward
or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009
.
AVISO RELATIVO A LATRANSICIÓN ATELEVISIÓN DIGITAL
Este equipo incorpora un sintonizador de televisión digital, lo que le permitirá recibir una programación
digital televisada por aire, con una antena adecuada, cuando se terminará la transmisión de alta potencia
de la televisión analógica en los Estados Unidos el 12 de Junio de 2009. Ciertos receptores de televisión
antiguos, si dependen de una antena deTV, necesitarán un conversor deTV para recibir por el aire una
programación digital, pero seguirán funcionando como antes para otros usos (por ejemplo para ver
emisoras deTV de baja potencia que todavía transmiten en analógico, para ver películas pregrabadas, o
para utilizar sus videojuegos).
Para obtener más información,
llame FCC 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322)
o refiérase a www.DTV.gov.

21. Information about the DTV transition –after June 12,2009, a television receiver with only an analog
broadcast tuner will require a converter box to receive full power overthe- air broadcasts with
an antenna because of the Nation's transition to digital broadcasting.Analog-onlyTVs should
continue to work as before to receiver low power, Class A or translator television stations and with
cable and satelliteTV services, gaming consoles,VCRs, DVD players, and similar products. For more
information about the DTV transition is available from http://www.DTV.gov or 1-888-CALL-FCC,
4
for digital-to-analog converter boxes.
CONSUMER ALERT –This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require
a concerter box after June 12,2009,to receive over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of
the Nation's transition to digital broadcasting.Analog-onlyTVs should continue to work as before
with cable and satelliteTV services, gaming consoles,VCRs, DVD players, and similar products, For
more information, call the Federal Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322(TTY:1-888-
