This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV Converter box. Some
cable companies oer “premium pay channels” where the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal
viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the Cable TV company.

or hearing violent scenes or pictures that you may choose to
exclude. The restriction applies to “US” TV/Movie Ratings and
“Canada” English/French Ratings if this data is transmitted. You
may set this restriction separately. To use the Parental Control
function, you must register a password.
