Connecting a digital CableCARD™

This digital television is capable of receiving analog basic, digital basic, and digital premium cable television programming by direct connection to a cable system that provides such programming.

A security card (such as a digital CableCARD), 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) will not work with the use of a CableCARD and may require the use of a separate set-top box from your cable operator.

For more information, call your local cable operator.

￿one digital CableCARD (contact your cable operator)

￿digital cable subscription service (contact your cable operator)

CableCARD is a trademark of Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.

NOTE:

Never remove the CableCARD carelessly. Be sure to use the EJECT button when removing the CableCARD.

Never insert any object or card (including, without limitation, a PCMCIA card) other than a CableCARD into the CableCARD slot.

Always make sure the CableCARD is facing the correct direction.

Connect the cable for your digital cable TV service to ANT-1 only.

A digital cable subscription is required to use a CableCARD. Contact your Cable company for information.

If the TV locks up with the CableCARD inserted, press the RESET button on the TV front or unplug the TV, plug it in again, and press POWER.

When using a CableCARD, channel programming (page 41) is unnecessary because the CableCARD automatically loads the cable channel list into the TV’s channel memory.

The CableCARD will take several seconds to “pair” with the TV. CableCARD information and channel listings will not be available until this “pairing” process is completed.
