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,
o llame al NTIA al 1-888-DTV-2009

antenna because of the Nation's transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue 
to work as before to receiver low power, Class A or translator television stations and with cable 
and satellite TV 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,

digital-to-analog converter boxes.
   CONSUMER ALERT – This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require a 
converter box after  June 12,2009,to receive over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the 
Nation's transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with 
cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products, For more 
information, call the Federal Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322(TTY:1-888-835-5322)
or visit the Commission's digital television website at:www.DTV.gov.
22.    Tilt/Stability – All televisions must comply with recommended international global safety standards 
for tilt and stability properties of its cabinets design.
Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to the front, or top,  ●
of the cabinet, which could ultimately overturn the product

25.    Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the 
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built 
up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides 
information with respect to proper grounding of the mats and supporting structure grounding of the 
lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antennadischarge
