Bypassing the Parental Lock

After you set the lock, you must use your pass code to view a locked program, view the locked TV, view a locked channel, cancel the lock, or enter the Lock menus.

If you forget your pass code, you can view the locked TV without entering your pass code. When you are prompted for your pass code, press the number 9 and QV keys on the TV remote control at the same time. This process temporarily unlocks the TV.

When entering the Lock menu, this process deletes your old pass code and prompts you to enter a new pass code.

You can either enter a new pass code to open the

Lock menu and make changes or press EXIT to close the menu.

If any of the locks are turned on and you exit the menus when prompted for a new code, the old code and all lock settings are retained.

If all locks are turned off and you exit the menus when prompted for a new code, then the previous code is erased.

IMPORTANT

When changing or deleting your pass code, you must use the remote control included with this TV. You cannot use a Mitsubishi remote control from another component or a “universal” remote.
