when the signal is scrambled. To program your Sony remote control to operate your cable box, see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 64.

❑ Use the TV’s remote control to change channels on your TV when the

signal is not scrambled. Your TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.

❑ Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your

cable box, only one signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the Twin View feature.)

Disconnect all power sources before making any connections.

1 Connect the CATV cable to the single (input) jack of the splitter. 2 Using a coaxial cable, connect one of the splitter’s two output jacks to

the TV’s CABLE jack.

Using CableCARD

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 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.

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:

❑ 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 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.

Setting Up the TV

Activating CableCARD Service

Before you can use CableCARD service, you need to insert the CableCARD (supplied by your cable TV company) and activate the service, as described below:

1 First remove the dummy card by pushing the eject button (see

“Removing the CableCARD” on page 58).

✍ If you remove the dummy card without pushing the eject button, the

CableCARD cannot be inserted. In that case, insert the dummy card again, remove it by pushing the eject button, and then insert the CableCARD.

2 Insert the CableCARD into the TV’s CableCARD slot.

About Memory Stick PRO Media

Memory Stick PRO media features vary by and are dependent upon the design of host hardware devices. Memory Stick PRO in this TV has been tested to support up to 1 GB media capacity and does not support high-speed transfer, MagicGate copyright protection technology, or access control security features.

Sony cannot guarantee or assure the Memory Stick functionality on this television in the following cases:

❑ You are using non-Sony brand Memory Stick media.

❑ You are using video or audio clips that have been processed on a

computer.

❑ You are using files that were obtained from the Internet or from a

printed film processing center.

❑ The Memory Stick has been formatted on a personal computer.

Sony recommends that you back up all data stored on Memory Stick media to avoid potential data loss. In the above two cases, in order to avoid potential data corruption that may occur, be sure to back up data prior to use with the TV’s Memory Stick Viewer. Sony cannot accept responsibility in the event that data recorded to Memory Stick media is lost or damaged. For certain non-Sony brand Memory Stick media, you can view images, but you cannot rotate, delete or protect/unprotect images on the television. An error message will occur if you attempt any of these operations. This is a result of the unique file directory structure on these particular flash memory media and is not a malfunction of the television.
