Using a password

The Plasma Display System provides the 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.

When using the Home menu you select “Auto Installation”, “Analogue TV Setup”, or “Password”, a screen prompting password entry appears to prevent others from changing the programme settings at their choices.

Entering a password

In a case where you select a channel blocked with Child Lock or password entry is requested when attempting to open the menu, enter a password correctly.

1 Enter a correct 4-digit password using buttons 0 – 9.

Please Input Your Password.

NOTE

• If you fail password entry three times, “Invalid password.” appears, and the menu is closed. In order to display the password entry screen again to unlock the password, select the blocked channel or open the menu again.

• If the password entry screen disappears before entry, you may recall it by pressing ENTER.
