Chapter 2: Connecting your TV About the connection illustrations You can connect different types and brands of devices to your TV in several different configurations. The connection illustrations in this manual are representative of typical device connections only. The input/output terminals on your devices may differ from those illustrated herein. For details on connecting and using your specific devices, refer to each device's owner's manual. 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 providing 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 settop box from your cable operator. For more information, call your local cable operator. You will need: one digital CableCARD™ (contact your cable operator) digital cable subscription service (contact your cable operator) TV back panel OUT To view encrypted digital channels: 1. Connect your digital Cable TV cable to ANT-1. 2. With the front of the CableCARD™ facing up, insert it into the CableCARD™ slot on the back of the TV (see illustration below left). 3. After the CableCARD™ is inserted, a CableCARD™ option appears in the Applications menu, with informational screens provided by your digital CableCARD™ service. See page 51 for additional information.

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. 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. 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.
