This card allows the TV to receive, decode and unscramble the premium digital channels included in your cable TV subscription without the use of a cable box. See page 22 for additional CableCARD information and activation instructions.

If you have MP3 audio sources, however, you need to connect the TV’s analog AUDIO OUTPUT (left and right) to your A/V receiver.
A Note About Temporary Residual Images
Prolonged display of stationary images on your TV may cause faint, residual “ghost” images to be visible when viewing other programs. THIS EFFECT IS TEMPORARY.

∙Stationary images that may be part of video games and web pages
∙Bright, stationary icons overlaid on moving video
∙Side bars displayed with
∙Top and bottom bars displayed with
•Mix regular TV and video programming with uses that display stationary images.
