Inserting the CA card into the CI
module
NOTE
• It takes a few minutes to certify the licence key when
you insert a CA card into the CI+ compatible CI module
for the first time. This process may fail when there is no
antenna input or you have never run “Auto installation”.
• The CI+ compatible CI module sometimes upgrades its
firmware. You may not receive any TV images before
upgrading. You can only use the power button during
upgrading.
• Copy protected content may not be output or may be
output with a copy control signal. The protect icon* is
displayed when P.INFO is pressed while watching copy
protected contents.
* Protect icon: X
• If the TV displays an update confirmation message for
the CA card while receiving CI+ compatible broadcasts,
follow the screen prompts.
• Make sure that the CI module is properly inserted.
• If the old CAM is used, authentication may fail. In such
cases, contact the contracted service provider.
Recording CAM PIN setting
When a CAM PIN code is required for recording a
programme, it is necessary to enter the CAM PIN
code in advance.
1Go to “TV Menu” > “Setup” > “Option” >
“CI setting” > “Recording CAM PIN setting”.
2Enter the CAM PIN code.
NOTE
• If a PIN code is not entered or is entered incorrectly, the
programme will not be able to be recorded/played back.
CI plus 1.3 Standard
CI Plus is an advanced development of the DVB
Common Interface Standard.
1Regarding security
There are some regulations in recording functions.
The playback of encrypted programmes is
strongly dependent on which CA module is
used. The playback of encrypted recordings may
sometimes not be possible, or only during limited
time. Programme providers, who use the CI Plus
standard, can assign different rights for their
broadcast programmes.
Exercise caution when using USB-recording to
record broadcast programmes (Pages 51–54).
2Operator service list management (Operator
profile)
Under the 1.3 specification the CAM may provide
the channel listing parameters (channel number,
frequency etc.) and these can be updated while in
use.
Refer to “Operator profile” on page 20.
In order to receive coded digital stations, a common
interface module (CI module) and a CA card must be
inserted in the CI slot of the TV.
1Carefully insert the CI module in the CI slot with
the contact side forward.
2The logo on the CI module must be facing
outward from the rear of the TV.
Checking CI module information
Go to “TV Menu” > “Setup” > “Option” >
“CI setting” > “CI menu”.
• This menu is only available for digital stations.
• The content of this menu depends on the provider
of the CI module.
