ABOUT SECURITY FEATURES
Security features let you make sure your system is being used the way you want it to be used.
You can use two levels of security:
♦You can lock your system, so that only those who know the password can access locked features (see below).
♦You can set up a Personal Identification Number (PIN) at the Service Center to keep unauthorized users from calling and ordering services (see Service Center Security on page
PARENTAL AND SYSTEM LOCKS
You can set system locks to keep anyone who does not know the password from:
♦Viewing one or more specified channels.
♦Viewing programs with certain rating or extended rating (content) codes.
♦Purchasing additional cost services such as pay per view programs.
♦Using the recorder front panel buttons.
To set locks, you must do the following:
1.Create the channel or program locks (you do not need to do this if you wish to lock only pay per view services).
2.Lock the recorder front panel buttons, if you wish.
3.Lock the system. This puts the locks you have created into effect, and also automatically locks the purchase of additional cost services.
Once the system is locked, anyone who wants to access the locked services must enter the password.
First you set the locks; then you lock the system.
You must lock your system in order to put all locks into effect.
If you want to lock only pay per view services, you do not need to create any special locks. Just lock the system, and this automatically locks pay per view services.
