DIGITAL TELEVISION TRANSITION NOTICE 1 English 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. The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting will be complete on June 12, 2009, but your local television stations may switch sooner. After the switch, analog-only television sets that receive TV programming through an antenna will need a converter box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch your local stations to find out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to digital-only broadcasting. 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.
