DTV Transition Notice
After June 12, 2009, a television receiver with only an analog broadcast tuner will require a
converter box to receive full power over-the-air broadcasts originating from a United States
broadcaster with an antenna because of the Nation’s transition to digital broadcasting.
Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before to receive low power, Class A or
translator television stations, cable, satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD
players, and similar products.
Information about the DTV transition is available from www.DTV.gov or 1-888-CALL-
FCC, and from www.dtv2009.gov or 1-888-DTV-2009 for information about subsidized
coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes.
This notice does not affect any programming received by this satellite set-top box. Your
digital satellite receiver will continue to receive the digital satellite signals and provide the
programming for display on both Analog Televisions and new DTV compatible monitors
with composite, Component YUV or S-Video input connections.
This notice complies with Parts 15 and 54 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations:
15.124 DTV Transition Notices by Manufacturers of Televisions and Related Devices.
The receiver has a serial number located on the rear panel.
Record the serial numbers, date of purchase and retain for your
records.

servicing to qualied service personnel under the following conditions:
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.
If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualied technician to restore the product
to its normal operation.
If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates
a need for service.
Replacement Parts When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specied by the manufacturer or have the
same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
re, electric shock, or other hazards.
