CableCARD slot: 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. (Check with your cable TV company about
CableCARD service details, limitations, pricing, and availability.
For more information about CableCARD in this manual, see
pages 17 and 43.)

DRC (Digital Reality Creation) Multifunction V1: Unlike
conventional line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature

lines. This results in four times the density for quality sources,
such as DVD, satellite, and digital camcorders. The Video Menu
allows you to select interlaced, progressive, or CineMotion™
output. The DRC Palette option lets you customize the level of
detail (Reality) and smoothness (Clarity) to create up to three
custom palettes.
