Important Safety Information 

DTV Transition Advisory 

As of June 12, 2009, all U.S. television stations have switched to digital 
broadcasting.  As a result, owners of analog television sets must 
connect a digital-to-analog converter box to the television set or 
subscribe to cable or satellite TV to receive over-the-air TV.  Analog-
only TVs continue to work as before to receive low power, Class A or 
translator television stations and with cable and satellite TV services, 
gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.
