CableCARD™ Technology

(models WD-57731 and WD-65731)

CableCARD is a nationwide system standard that allows your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access card customized to your account. This card 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. When you move to a new cable provider’s area, return the CableCARD to the original cable provider and get a new card from your new provider.

Please note that CableCARD is a relatively new technology and your local cable provider may not currently be offer- ing this service. As time passes, this system will become broadly supported by most cable providers.

The CableCARD system is unidirectional, meaning your cable provider can send updates to the TV, but the TV cannot send signals back. As a result, certain advanced and interactive 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 opera- tor.

Digital cable channels authorized by the CableCARD are available on the Firewire® IEEE 1394 network and can be shared by other products on the network. You may be unable to record or copy some digital programs, however, because of copy restrictions set by the content or copy- right owners.

Using a CableCARD™

Power on the TV and insert the CableCARD into the CableCARD slot with the top of the card oriented as indi- cated by CARD TOP . When the initial screen dis- plays, write down the information that appears and have it ready when calling your cable provider.
