Locking and unlocking your DIRECTV® System

If you have set ratings limits, spending limits, or channel lists for your DIRECTV® System, you need to lock the system to make those settings take effect. To later change those settings, you will need to unlock the system to access the controls for those settings. Locking the system involves entering a four-digit password. You will need to remember this password to unlock the system. Write down the password and keep it in a safe place. If you forget your password, call DIRECTV or your service provider for assistance.

To lock or unlock the system, follow these steps:

1 Press the MENU button on your remote control.
