DIGITAL TELEVISION TRANSITION NOTICE

This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV
programming, with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting
in the United States on June 12 2009. Some older television receivers, if they rely on a
TV antenna, will need a TV Converter to receive over the air digital programming, but
should continue to work as before for other purposes (e.g., for watching low-power
TV 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 the TV Converter program, and on government coupons that may be
used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov,
or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009.

AVISO RELATIVO A LA TRANSICIÓN A TELEVISIÓN
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 de TV, necesitarán un conversor de TV para recibir por el aire una programación
digital, pero seguirán funcionando como antes para otros usos (por ejemplo para ver
emisoras de TV 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.
Para toda información sobre el programa de conversores de TV, y acerca de los cupones
del gobierno que se pueden usar para comprarlos, refiérase a www.dtv2009.gov,
