Using the CableCARD Device
The CableCARD device 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 device, 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 
the CableCARD 
Device
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 device 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 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 device 
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 
device (supplied by your cable TV company) and activate the service, as 
described below:
1
Insert the CableCARD device into the CableCARD slot.
2
Gently push the card into the slot until it locks into place.
CAUTION: When inserting the CableCARD device, the top side of the 
card should face front. Inserting the CableCARD incorrectly may result 
in permanent damage to the card and the TV.
