Federal Communications Rule
Part 68
—
Equipment Statement;
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the
requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the rear panel of this
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a
product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested,
this number must be provided to the telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises
wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC
Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant
telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is
designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also
compliant. See installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be
connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line
may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call.
In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five
(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected
to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for
this product is part of the product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by the ## are the
REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier
products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment, the Pioneer DVD Recorder with TiVo, causes
harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify

will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe
it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation
of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide
advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to
maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, the Pioneer DVD
Recorder with TiVo, for repair or warranty information, please
contact the Customer Service Hotline at 1-800-421-1404. If the
equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the
problem is resolved.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the
state public utility commission, public service commission or
corporation commission for information.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the
telephone line, ensure the installation of this equipment, the Pioneer
DVD Recorder with TiVo, does not disable your alarm equipment. If
you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult
your telephone company or a qualified installer.
According to the FCC’s electrical safety advisory, we recommend
that you may install an AC surge arrestor connected. Telephone
companies report that electrical surges, typically lightning transients,
are very destructive to customer terminal equipment connected to AC
power sources and that this is a major, nationwide problem.
