Locking and Unlocking Your Receiver
Chapter 6
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING YOUR RECEIVER
You must lock the receiver for any receiver locks you set to take effect. To lock the
receiver, you must first create a password (see Setting Up a Password in the previous
section). Be sure to refer to this section whenever you set any lock on your receiver.
1 Press MENU and select Locks.
2 If the receiver is locked, enter the password using the NUMBER PAD. The receiver
displays stars (*) as you enter the digits of the password. Select OK.
3 Select Lock System or Unlock System. If you are locking the receiver, the receiver
displays a message prompting you to enter a password.
4 Enter a password, using the NUMBER PAD. The receiver displays stars (*) as you enter
the digits of the password. Select OK.
5 Confirm the password by re-entering it. Select OK. All the locks you have set are now in
effect.
TIPS
• If the receiver displays a message prompting you to enter a password, it is locked.
• When you lock a rating, you also lock all other more restrictive ratings. For example, if
you lock PG-13 rated programs, then all programs with the R, NC-17, and NR/AO
ratings are also locked.
QUESTIONS
• Why didn’t a lock I set take effect? You must lock the receiver for any lock you set to
take effect. See page 44 for details.
• What do I do if I forget my password? If you forget your password, contact a
Customer Service Representative.
