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 more tries for several minutes.

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

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

The locks you set for TV2 in Dual Mode are not available in Single Mode. When using the receiver in Single Mode, if the programming you select is not appropriate for all viewers on remote TV(s), be sure to disable Shared View (see page 51 for instructions).

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 101 for information on PINs.
