5.7 Common 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+ 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.
