9.3. Releasing Key Lock

The key lock function prevents the front-mounted keys or knobs from being tampered. (Refer to p. 77 "Key Lock Function Setting.")

You can temporarily operate the locked keys by entering a password to unlock them. Operation after password entry differs depending on the locked keys.

Step 1. Press the locked key.

The password entry screen is displayed with the flashing indication of the character entry position on the extreme left.

Note

If the front-mounted key operation is locked, the password entry screen appears after you press the input or output selection key and attempt to rotate the input or output volume control.

Step 2. Press the Enter key if no password has been set.

If the password has been set, enter it using the Input channel selection keys.

Entering a character causes the next character entry position to flash for character entry.

When the entered password is correct, the locked key is released. If the registered password is comprised of 1 to 3 characters, as soon as entered 1 to 3 characters agree with them, the locked key is released.

When released keys are those of the type related to input and output operations, they become temporarily operable, but revert to the locked state if they are left unused for 1 minute.

When utility-related keys are released, the key lock menu screen is displayed, clearing the password setting automatically.

Move to the screen for which you want to make a change. When wishing to lock the keys using the password even after the setting has been changed, set the password again. (Refer to p. 81.)

To simultaneously release all locked keys, set the all-key lock function to OFF on the all-key lock ON/OFF setting screen.

When the power switch is locked, the password entry screen is not displayed if the power switch is pressed, and so the power cannot be turned off.

Since the key lock function helps to prevent the front panel keys or knobs from being tampered, their operation can be performed by controls through the control input terminals even if the keys or knobs are locked.
