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.
