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

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
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
currently a unidirectional device only, and cannot provide these
advanced services.
Check with your cable TV company for CableCARD
limitations, pricing, and availability, all of which are determined by your
cable TV company — not Sony.
