Operation (TV mode)

The parental control function must be enabled without fail in order to be able to apply a lock.To do this you need to select the Activate parental control option from the Parental control menu to define a personal code.

Whenever you enable the parental control function by defining a personal code you have to enter your code to access the Parental control and Installation menus, even if there is no lock on. In the Parental control menu the option is replaced by Deactivate parental control.

To disable the parental control function, access the Parental control menu by entering your personal code, select the Deactivate parental control option and enter your code again.This option is then replaced by Activate parental control.

The personal code is deleted every time you disable the parental control function.This means you have to redefine it every time you enable this function again.

Whenever you enter your code all the locks are disabled until the set is put in standby again.

If you have forgotten your PIN code you can cancel it:

When you are prompted to enter your code to access the Parental control menu, press the PR+ and + buttons on the front of your set at the same time for eight seconds.This procedure is possible, even if you have locked the buttons on the front of the TV set.
