Using a password

The plasma television provides the Channel lock function and Child lock function for preventing children from watching inappropriate programmes. You need to enter a password when watching programmes with "Block" specified. Before the system is shipped, "1234" is preset as the factory-default password. You can however, change the password as you want.

You will need to enter the password before using the "Auto Installation", "Analogue TV Setup", "DTV Setup", or "Password" functions from the Home Menu. This is to prevent unauthorized changes to the settings.

Entering a password

You will need to enter the password after selecting a channel blocked with the Channel Lock or Child Lock function, and before you can use some of the menu functions.

• Enter your 4-digit password using buttons 0 to 9.

Please Input Your Password.
