							5.7Common Interface CAM
CAM
Scrambled  digital  TV  channels can be  decoded with  a Conditional Access
Module ( CAM). Digital TV  service  operators  provide  the  CAM when you
subscribe to their services. Contact a digital  TV  service  operator for more
information  and to see  terms  & conditions.
Insert  a  CAM
Switch off  the  TV  before inserting  a  CAM.
Look on  the  CAM for  the  correct method  of  insertion. Incorrect
insertion  can  damage the  CAM and  the  TV.
Look for  the   common interface  slot  on  the  back  of  the  TV.  Gently
insert the  CAM as  far as  it will  go and  leave it in  the  slot
permanently.
It  can  take a  few  minutes before the  CAM is activated. Removing the
CAM will  deactivate the  service  on  TV.
Watching a  CAM service
If  a  CAM is inserted and  subscription  fees have been paid, the  TV
shows  the  programme  from the  digital TV  service  provider. The
applications, their function,  the  content  and  the  onscreen  messages
all come from the  CAM service.
CAM settings
To  set passwords  or PIN codes for  the  CAM service,  press   h >
Setup  > Channel settings  > Common  Interface .  Select  the  CAM
provider and  press   OK.
CI+
This  TV  can  handle  the   CI+ conditional access.
CI+ allows service  providers  to  offer  premium HD digital
programmes  like  movies  and  sports with  a  high  level  of  copy
protection.
To  insert a  CI+ CAM, read the  chapter  CAM - Conditional Access
Module.
