Yes. DCR products, like all TV receivers (except those below 13 inches screen size), are required by the FCC to respond to ratings codes embedded in the content by the programming provider. However, without a set-top box, the customer would not have access to the Parental Controls features of the cable operator's interactive program guide. Instead, the customer would rely on the Parental Controls feature of the TV. Does my local system support DCR products? DCR products are supported by technology in the cable plant. Most digital cable systems have been required by the FCC to install such technology and support CableCARD™ and DCR products since July 1, 2004. Check with your local cable office to determine whether CableCARD™ devices and DCR products are currently supported in your area.

Since Cable operators may have different approaches for obtaining a CableCARD™, call your local operator to determine their distribution procedure. How much does a CableCARD™ cost? Cable operators make pricing decisions locally so you will have to check with your local cable operator for the charge, if any, for a CableCARD™. 7
