Using a CableCARD

246 Series TVs

The CableCARD™ system allows your TV to receive, decode, and unscramble the premium digital channels included in your cable TV subscription without the use of a cable box. The system is unidirectional, meaning that certain digital cable services, such as requests for video-on-demand and pay-per-view programs, a cable operator’s enhanced program guide, and data- enhanced television services may require use of a set-top box instead. For more information, call your local cable operator.

Note: CableCARD requires the TV’s Fast Power On setting. If you insert a CableCARD, the TV will automatically override a Low Power setting and change to the Fast Power On setting.
