Connecting a digital CableCARD™

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 CableCARDand may require the use of a separate set- top box from your cable operator.

For more information, call your local cable operator.

Note:

From digital Cable service (connect to ANT 1 only)

This cable should be connected to ANT 1 terminal directly. If you connect the cable via a VCR, the TV may not receive the signals correctly.

________

CableCARD is a trademark of Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.

Always use the EJECT button to remove the CableCARD™. Never remove the CableCARD™ carelessly.

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.

When using a CableCARD™, channel programming is unnecessary because the CableCARD™ automatically loads the cable channel list into the TV’s channel memory (page 42).

The CableCARD™ may take up to 5 minutes to “pair” with the TV and download channel information. CableCARD™ information and channels will not be available until this process is completed.

CableCARD™ technology, like all new and emerging technology, may from time to time experience compatibility issues due to the different ways in which television manufacturers and cable system operators implement the CableCARD™ specifications. Most issues can be easily resolved. If you experience any performance-related CableCARD™ issues with your Toshiba television, please contact Toshiba Consumer Solutions by calling (800) 631-3811 or by visiting http://www.tacp.com/customersupport/contact.asp.
