Using control maps

By turning the Protect setting on, you can protect the control map data from being

accidentally overwritten.

This will disable All Bulk reception (p. 10) and Save (p. 9) operations, protecting your

valuable data from being overwritten.

The Protect on/off setting is remembered even when the PCR is powered off.
