Using a CableCARD

246 Series TVs
The CableCARD™ system allows your TV to receive,
decode, and unscramble the premium digital channels
included in your cable TV subscription without the use
of a cable box. The system is unidirectional, meaning
that certain digital cable services, such as requests
for video-on-demand and pay-per-view programs, a
cable operator's enhanced program guide, and data-
enhanced television services may require use of a
set-top box instead. For more information, call your
local cable operator.
Note: CableCARD requires the TV's Fast Power On
setting. If you insert a CableCARD, the TV will
automatically override a Low Power setting and
change to the Fast Power On setting.
Installing a CableCARD

Connect your primary
incoming cable to
ANT1/MAIN on the

3.
Insert the CableCARD
into the CableCARD
slot with the front of
the card oriented as

Wait a few moments while the CableCARD initial-
izes. A message will display on screen when initial-
ization is complete.
