Using a CableCARD
By installing a CableCARD in your TV, you can enjoy features normally provided by a set-top cable box
without connecting a cable box or operating another piece of equipment. For example, a CableCARD can
decode scrambled cable channels in your TV.
NOTE: The availability, setup, and pricing of CableCARD service is determined by your local cable
provider, not by HP. Contact your cable provider for information about this service in your area.
NOTE: Current CableCARD technology does not support interactive features requiring two-direction
communication, such as video-on-demand. Such features, if they are available in your area, require a set-
top cable box. Contect your cable provider for information about advanced features in your area.
Adding a CableCARD Slot
Certain TV models do not have a CableCARD slot. However, you can add this capability by purchasing a
CableCARD module from HP and installing it in your TV. This enables you to install a CableCARD provided
by your local cable provider.
CAUTION: The CableCARD module is extremely sensitive to static electricity and can be permanently
damaged by it. Handle the module only by the front plate. Before inserting the module into the TV,
discharge your body‘s static electricity by touching one of the video or audio connectors on the TV panel.
1. Turn off the TV.
2. Open the front access door and find the CableCARD cover plate near the left end of the connection
panel.
3. Loosen the two screws
