CABLE

FCC Statement: This digital television is capable of receiving analog basic, digital basic and digital premium cable television programming by direct connection to a cable system providing such programming. A security card provided by your cable operator is required to view encrypted digital programming. Certain advanced and interactive digital cable services such as video-on-demand, a cable operator’s enhanced program guide and data- enhanced television services may require the use of a set-top box. For more information, call your local cable operator.

How to Connect: TV + CableCARD

The CableCARD slot allows you to use a digital cable television card to receive digital cable services, including premium and HDTV cable channels, without the need for a set-top box. Please contact your local cable company to obtain a digital cable television card. Depending on your cable company, someone might come to your home to install the CableCARD for you, or they’ll simply send you the CableCARD. CableCARD service details, availability, restrictions, and pricing are determined by your cable company.

When you receive the digital cable card, make sure you connect your coaxial cable to the CABLE INPUT jack. Then, turn on your TV. Insert the digital cable card into the slot on the back of the TV labeled CableCARD. Push firmly on the card until almost the entire card is inserted. Wait to receive information on-screen regarding your digital cable television services. See below for information on setting up digital cable television services for your TV.

You should know:

Once the digital cable card is authorized for a particular TV, the card can’t be used with any other TV, unless it is re- authorized to it.

You won’t receive digital cable channels if you connect your cable to the ANTENNA INPUT. Make sure you connect your cable to the CABLE INPUT.

Once inserted, it is not recommended you remove the digital cable card. In the case it needs to be removed, grasp firmly, and pull the card straight out.

Setting Up Digital Cable Television Service

Once you have inserted a digital cable card into the CableCARD slot on the back of the TV (explained above), you are ready to receive digital cable channels. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the status screen to appear. Write down the information you see and call your cable company to provide them with the information on-screen.

If you experience problems with your digital cable after your CableCARD is set up, try resetting your CableCARD. Go to page 54 for more information. If problems persist, contact your cable company.

Notes: If your information screen disappears before you have a chance to write down the information, press MENU on the remote to access the menu system. Then press 9, 9, 9, and the information screen appears. Go to page 54 for more information on the CableCARD Tools menu.

You can’t order video-on-demand through your digital cable card. Call your local cable company to place an order.

HDTV specifications

RCA HDTVs have established themselves as reliable and affordable options in the realm of high-definition televisions. With a variety of models available, they cater to different consumer needs while delivering impressive performance and features.

One of the standout characteristics of RCA HDTVs is their commitment to delivering high-quality visuals. Most models come equipped with Full HD (1080p) resolution, ensuring that viewers enjoy vibrant colors and sharp details. This resolution significantly enhances the viewing experience, especially when watching movies or sporting events. Some RCA models even embrace 4K Ultra HD, offering four times the pixel resolution of standard Full HD, bringing enhanced clarity and a more immersive experience.

In terms of technology, RCA HDTVs utilize LED backlighting, which improves contrast and brightness while maintaining energy efficiency. This lighting technology allows for thinner screens, making RCA TVs both sleek and modern, while providing a broad color spectrum that contributes to stunning picture quality. Many RCA models also support HDR (High Dynamic Range), enabling deeper contrasts between light and dark, which amplifies the realism of the images displayed.

RCA HDTVs often come with multiple connectivity options, including several HDMI ports, USB inputs, VGA, and Ethernet, facilitating easy integration with a range of external devices. This compatibility allows users to connect gaming consoles, streaming devices, and sound systems effortlessly. Additionally, many RCA TVs feature built-in Wi-Fi, enabling access to popular streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, effectively turning the TV into an entertainment hub.

For enhanced user experience, RCA incorporates smart TV features in many of its models. The intuitive user interface provides easy navigation through applications and settings. Voice control compatibility with smart home devices is an emerging feature in newer RCA HDTVs, allowing for convenient voice commands.

RCA’s focus on affordability ensures that consumers get quality technology without breaking the bank. The reliability and performance of RCA HDTVs have made them a popular choice not only for budget-conscious buyers but also for those looking to upgrade their home entertainment systems.

In summary, RCA HDTVs combine an array of impressive features including Full HD and 4K resolution, LED backlighting, HDR technology, multiple connectivity options, and smart capabilities. Their affordability and quality make them a noteworthy option for anyone in the market for a new television.
