Setup
Using CableCARD
™
CableCARD
™
provides cable subscribers with access to digitally encrypted
cable channels — without the need for a set-top box — that will enable you to
receive not only standard definition but also high definition television. The
CableCARD
™
, which is provided by your cable TV company, is inserted into
the TV’s rear panel CableCARD
™
slot. After the service is activated with
your cable TV company, the card replaces the need for a separate set-top box.
About Using CableCARD
™
If you are planning to use a separate cable box for digital cable TV services,
you may be able to receive programming using this TV with the
CableCARD
™
instead — except in the following circumstances:
s Your cable TV company does not provide CableCARD
™
service in your
viewing area.
s You want to access your cable TV company’s interactive or advanced
features (such as video-on-demand or, in some cases, pay-per-view). At
this time, these services require a bidirectional link, which are only
available through the use of a separate set-top box. CableCARD
™
is
currently a unidirectional device only, and cannot provide these
advanced services.
Check with your cable TV company for CableCARD
™
service details,
limitations, pricing, and availability, all of which are determined by your
cable TV company — not Sony.
Activating
CableCARD
™
Service
Before you can use CableCARD
™
service, you need to insert the
CableCARD
™
(supplied by your cable TV company) and activate the
service, as described below:
1 Insert the CableCARD
™
into the TV’s CableCARD
™
slot.
