Overview

Your new LCD projection TV can receive both analog and digital

broadcasting signals fiorn antenna, satellite and cable TV.

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and

choose tile correct display forlnat (see " s"

U.'mg tile WIDE Button" on page

53). It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-ohm _"

coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin ._

lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and tile like, resulting in "4

signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far _:

away as possible from the TV.

Making Video and

Audio Connections The signals that enter your TV and connected devices will need to output in

the correct format using the suitable connections. Below are different types

of video connectors available these days. Your TV comes with all types of

connectors with the exception of the DVI connector but your cable box or

satellite receiver may be equipped with this type. When connecting your TV.

Using CableCARD

About Using

CableCARD Device

Activating

CableCARD Service

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.

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.

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:

tInsert the CableCARD device into the CableCARD slot.

CableCARD" _"

L_ CAUTION: When inserting the CableCARD device, the rear side of

the card should face forward. Inserting the CableCARD incorrectly

may result in permanent damage to the card and the TV.

2Gently push the card into the slot until it locks into place.

"_°You can also access

information about your

CableCARD device in

the Applications settings

(see page 84).

Removing the

CableCARD Device

Connecting the TV

Alter 1-2 minutes, the CableCARD device setup screen is automatically

displayed. This screen includes information your cable TV company

will request before they can activate your service.

Follow the displayed instructions: Phone your cable TV company. A

representative will guide you through the activation process.

After your CableCARD device is activated, your cable TV company

will download the service information, including the channel list, to the

CableCARD device. After the CableCARD device has acquired

channels from your cable TV company, the TV tunes to the lowest

available channel.

In tile event you want to cancel your service, contact your cable TV

company.

_once the CableCARD device is removed, your TV will no longer

decrypt digital cable TV programming services that require

CableCARD.
