Using the CableCARD Slot<br />
The CableCARD slot (with CABLE INPUT) allows you to use a digital cable card to receive digital cable<br />
services, including premium and HDTV cable channels, without the need for a set-top box. Please contact<br />
your local cable <strong>com</strong>pany to obtain a digital cable card. Depending on your cable <strong>com</strong>pany, an installer might<br />
<strong>com</strong>e to your home to install the digital cable card for you, or they’ll simply send you the digital cable card.<br />
Important Note: CableCARD service details, availability, restrictions, and pricing are<br />
determined by your cable <strong>com</strong>pany.<br />
When you receive the digital cable card, make sure you connect your coaxial cable to the CABLE INPUT<br />
jack. Then, turn on your TV. Insert the digital cable card into the slot on the back of the TV labeled<br />
CableCARD. Push firmly on the card until almost the entire card is inserted. Wait to receive information onscreen<br />
