Avís legal
ALERTA AL CONSUMIDOR: Aquest receptor de televisió només té un sintonitzador d'emissió analògica i necessitarà un convertidor després del 17 de febrer de 2009 per rebre emissions per aire amb una antena a causa de la transició dels EUA a la radiodifusió digital. Els televisors només analògics haurien de continuar funcionant com abans amb serveis de televisió per cable i satèl·lit, consoles de jocs, reproductors de vídeo, reproductors de DVD i productes similars.
