INFORMATION REGARDING THE DIGITAL TV TRANSITION

Aftr February 17, 2009, a television receiver with only an analog br

oadcast tuner will require a converter box to receive full power, over the air broadcasts with an antenna due to the USA’s nationwide transiton to digital broadcasting. Analog only TVs should continue to work as before to receive low power, Class A or translator TV stations, cable/satellite services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.

Information about the DTV transition is available at:

www.DTV.gov or 1.888.CALL.FCC

See pages 4 to 7 to view image details.

Information about subsidized coupons for digital to analog converter boxes (like the CM-7000) is available at:

www.dtv2009.gov or 1.888.DTV.2009

The CM-7000 digital to analog convert box is capable of receiving digital broadcasts via a TV antenna and displays them on an analog TV set. This converter box does not include analog pass through, so the use of an A/B switch or splitter is required to receive both digital and analag signals from one antenna (see pages 6 and 7).
