Using Locks

When you unlock programming delivered by the receiver’s outputs to your coaxial cabling, you are allowing all TVs connected to your reciever to have access to the same programming. In this case, you must rely on the V-Chip technology and settings in the individual televisions to prevent viewing of inappropriate programming. Consult your TVs’ user guides for instructions to set up V-Chip protection.

Note: Locks for programming on the TV1 outputs for the nearby TV are set using the receiver’s Lock menus. The section below applies to all locks you set.

How to Set Locks: A Two-Step Process

1.Create the locks that you want.

2.Then lock the receiver.

When the receiver is locked, anyone who wants to access locked items must enter the password to do so.

When You Have Locked the Receiver

If you try to access a locked item or open the Locks menu, the receiver displays a message prompting you to enter the password.

The receiver allows you three tries to enter the correct password. If you fail to enter the correct password, the receiver does not allow any more tries for several minutes.

If you enter the correct password, then you can access the locked item or open the Locks menu.

If you exit a locked item or close the Locks menu, you must re-enter the password to access the item or menu.

Locking and Unlocking the Receiver

You must lock the receiver for any receiver Locks you have set to take effect. And to lock the receiver, you must first create a password. If you forget your password, you will need to speak with a Customer Service Representative. If you have a Personal Identification Number (PIN), you will need to give it to the Customer Service Representative. See page 81 for information on PINs.

1.Press the MENU button to display the Main Menu.

2.Select the Locks option to display the Locks menu.

Note: If the receiver displays a message prompting you to enter a password, then the receiver has already been locked.
