Cable CARD INTERFACE

1394

* CableCARD™ is a trademark of
Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.

Your new TV is provided with a special slot called a CableCARD™ which
means that you do not need a separate set top box to receive digital cable
SDTV and HDTV programs. However it is still possible to connect a set
top box to your TV.
The CableCARD, which will be available from your cable system operator,
is designed only for that particular digital cable TV system. If you need to
get digital cable TV from a different system, simple swap your old
CableCARD for a new one.
Cable systems can provide a wide range of digital TV programs and even
specialized digital audio channels.
Cable TV systems can offer many local-interest channels you won’t see off-
air or from a satellite broadcast. Examples include local school and
community access channels.
