Quick guide

Inserting the CA card into the CI

module

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.

EChecking CI module information

Go to “HOME” > “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.
Module
General information on CI module displays.
Menu
Adjustment parameters of each CA card displays.
Enquiry
You can input numerical values such as passwords here.
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 during upgrading.
• Copy protected content may not be output or may be output
with a copy control signal. The protect icon* is displayed
when INFO is pressed while watching copy protected
contents.
• 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 “HOME” > “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.
• Because recording is not possible when channel lock (page
44) and parental rating (page 45) settings are active, it is
necessary to deactivate both of these settings.

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 51–63).

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 21.
