FCC Registration Information
Your digital satellite receiver has been registered by the Federal
Communication Commission (FCC) as not being harmful to the
telephone network when connected directly to the telephone
lines. In order to fully comply with the Rules of the FCC, the
following instructions should be read carefully and followed
completely where applicable:
1 The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) has
established Rules which permit this device to be directly
connected to the telephone network. Standardized jacks are
used for these connections. This equipment should not be
used on party lines or coin phones.
2 If this device is malfunctioning, it may also be causing harm
to the telephone network; this device should be disconnected
until the source of the problem can be determined and until
repair has been made. If this is not done, the telephone
company may temporarily disconnect service.
3 The telephone company may make changes in its technical
operations and procedures; if such changes affect the
compatibility or use of this device, the telephone company is
required to give adequate notice of the changes. You will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
4 If the telephone company requests information on what
equipment is connected to their lines, inform them of:
a The telephone number to which this unit is connected.
b. The ringer equivalence number.
c. The USOC jack required.
d. The FCC Registration Number.
5 Items (b) and (d) are indicated on the label. The Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine how many
devices can be connected to your telephone line. In most
areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices on any one line
should not exceed five (5). If too many devices are attached,
they may not ring properly.

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference
to radio or television reception (which you can determine by
turning the equipment off and on), you are encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

radio or television equipment that is receiving the
interference
Y

receiver and the equipment receiving the interference are on
different branch circuits
Shielded cables and I/O cords must be used for this equipment to
comply with the relevant FCC regulations. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved in writing by Sony
