FCC Regulations and
Information
FCC Registration Information
Your Digital Satellite Receiver/Recorder has been
registered by the Federal Communication
Commission (FCC) as not being harmful to the
telephone network when connected directly to the
telephone lines. In order to fully comply with the
Rules of the FCC, the following instructions should
be read carefully and followed completely where
applicable:
FCC has established Rules which permit this device
to be directly connected to the telephone network.
Standardized jacks are used for these connections.
This equipment should not be used on party lines or
coin phones.
If this device is malfunctioning, it may also be
causing harm to the telephone network; this device
should be disconnected until the source of the
problem can be determined and until the repair has
been made. If this is not done, the telephone
company may temporarily disconnect service.
The telephone company may make changes in its
technical operations and procedures; if such
changes affect the compatibility or use of this
device, the telephone company is required to give
adequate notice of the changes. You will be advised
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
If the telephone company requests information on
what equipment is connected to their lines, inform
them of:
a. The telephone number to which this unit is
connected.
b. The ringer equivalence number.
c. The USOC jack required.
d. The FCC Registration Number.
Items (b) and (d) are indicated on the label. The
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to
determine how many devices can be connected to
your telephone line. In most areas, the sum of the
REN’s of all devices on any one line should not
exceed five (5). If too many devices are attached,
they may not ring properly.
Service Requirements

comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can

television equipment that is receiving the
interference.

different outlet so that the Digital Satellite
Receiver/Recorder and the equipment receiving the
interference are on different branch circuits.
Shielded cables and I/O cords must be used for this
equipment to comply with the relevant FCC
regulations. Changes or modifications not expr essly
approved in writing by Sony Electronics, Inc., void
the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference,
you should consult your Digital Satellite Receiver/
Recorder dealer or an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions. In addition,
you may find the following booklet prepared by the
FCC helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve RadioTV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available
