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.
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
Turn off the TV.
2
Insert the CableCARD into the TV’s CableCARD slot.
CAUTION: Inserting the CableCARD incorrectly may result in permanent
damage to the card and the TV.
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:
❑
Your cable TV company does not provide CableCARD service in your viewing area.
❑
You want to access your cable 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.
