218 PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner’s Manual Reference section
In this screen you can prohibit console operation (Console
Lock), prohibit editing for specific parameters (Parameter
Lock) or disabling file loading (Load Lock). Two pass-
words of differing levels can be specified to allow locking
and unlocking.

ASYSTEM PASSWORD

This is a permanent password (maximum of eight
characters) for the entire system. The password you
specify here is valid for the PARAMETER LOCK but-
ton (2) and for the CONSOLE LOCK button (4).
However, you can perform the Lock operation even
without specifying a password.
If no password has been specified, this box will indi-
cate “--FREE--”. If a password has been specified,
asterisks (*) will be displayed to represent the charac-
ters of the password.
To set or change the password, click the button to
open the SYSTEM PASSWORD CHANGE window.
When setting the password for the first time, you will
input the same password twice for confirmation. To
change the password, you will input both the old pass-
word and the new password. By specifying a blank
entry as the new password, you can restore the state to
a condition in which no password has been set.
Note
The system password is remembered even when the power is
turned off. This means that if you forget the password, you will
be unable to defeat Parameter Lock or Console Lock except
by initializing the entire memory of the PM5D (
➥
p.160).
Please be careful not to lose the system password.

BPARAMETER LOCK

This button sets/defeats Parameter Lock for the param-
eters selected in the LOCK PARAMETER SELECT area
(5). If not even one parameter is selected, these but-
tons will be grayed-out and cannot be turned on. If the
system password has been set, clicking this button will
open the SYSTEM PASSWORD CHECK window,
where you will need to input the system password.

CLOAD LOCK

This button disables file load operations. If the system
password has been set, clicking this button will open
the SYSTEM PASSWORD CHECK window, where
you will need to input the system password. If this but-
ton is on, synchronization with PM5D Editor/DSP5D
Editor can occur only from this unit to PM5D Editor/
DSP5D Editor (not in the opposite direction).

DCONSOLE LOCK

This button locks the console operations. If the system
password has been set, clicking this button will open
the SYSTEM PASSWORD CHECK window, where
you will need to input the system password.

ELOCK PARAMETER SELECT

If the PARAMETER LOCK button (2) is on, parame-
ters for which editing will be disabled can be selected
from the following table. As long as the PARAMETER
LOCK button (2) is on, these parameters cannot be
edited.
Note
If you turn on the RECALL LOCK button, the specified param-
eters will also be unaffected by scene or library recall
operations.
