Locking and Unlocking Your Receiver

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING YOUR RECEIVER

You must lock the receiver for any receiver locks you set to take effect. To lock the receiver, you must first create a password (see Creating or Changing a Password in the previous section). Be sure to refer to this section whenever you set any lock on your receiver.

CREATING OR CHANGING RATINGS LOCKS

You can lock programs based on Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) ratings (PG, PG 13, etc.) and expanded ratings (violence, language, etc.).

Note: Highlight the least restrictive rating that you want to block. Press SELECT to lock the highlighted rating and all ratings more restrictive than it (for example, locking PG 13 automatically locks R and NC-17).

From the history vault! If today’s date is November 1, wish the ratings system a happy birthday because the Motion Picture Association of American introduced the system in 1968.
