The security passcode setting is used to limit access to Parental Guide (V-Chip) and Channel Lock functions. The same security passcode is used for both functionality. By default, this display is shipped with the security passcode set at 0000.

Changing the Passcode

To change the security passcode:

2.Use the ADJ +/- keys to navigate to “TV” OSD submenu.

3.Use the MENU +/- keys to scroll to the “SET PARENTAL CODE” selection.

5.Press the default factory passcode 0,0,0,0 if you’re setting this passcode for the first time. If you’ve previously set the passcode, then enter your the set passcode. If it is entered correctly, then a new passcode menu will be displayed (see Figure 2).

6.Enter a new 4-digit passcode by using the number keypad. Once entered, you will be prompted to re-key the same passcode to ver- ify your setting (see Figure 3).

7.After setting the new passcode, the new passcode will be applica- ble to all of your previous set Channel Lock or V-Chip functions.

Notes:

„When you are entering the 4-digit passcode, please enter the digits slowly and make sure that the display confirms the reception of the code. The display will change from “?” to “+” as it received the passcode.

„If you incorrectly enter the wrong passcode three times, the until will automatically go back to the “TV” OSD sub-menu. Repeat the above procedure to reset your passode.

„If you incorrectly enter “NEW PASSCODE” three times, the dis- play will go back to the “Press NEW PASSCODE” step and request that you set the new passcode again.
