To deactivate the video lock once the GameTimer has activated it:

Set the VIDEO LOCK to OFF (see “Locking video inputs” on page 95).

Note:

A message will appear on-screen when 10 minutes, 3 minutes, and 1 minute remain on the GameTimer.

If the TV loses power with time remaining on the GameTimer, when power is restored the TV will enter VIDEO LOCK mode (as if the GameTimer had expired) and you will have to deactivate the video lock (as described above).

2.Press z to display the PIN code entering screen.

3.Enter your four-digit PIN code and press ENTER.
