the service.
Inserting the CableCARD incorrectly may result in permanent damage to the card and
the TV.
The connection diagrams shown in the reverse side are recommendations only; other
possible solutions may exist. Connections that include an AV receiver can often be
complex, so check your AV receiver’s
instruction manual for additional
details.
See the “Cables Required” chart that
appears with the diagram to determine
which cables you’ll need. Depending on
the components you plan to connect,
you may need to purchase extra cables.
