LOCK NOW
After setting the restrictions you want (see below for options),
choose Lock Now from the left menu. You’ll be asked to create
a passcode. This passcode will be your entry to unlocking and
adjusting the limits in the future.
UNLOCK NOW
When Parental Controls are locked, a message appears if you
try to tune to a restricted program, explaining why the program
is blocked. To temporarily unlock a particular program, select
Unlock Now and enter your passcode. Multiple entries aimed at
guessing the passcode are thwarted by a time delay; each invalid
passcode entered lengthens the delay for subsequent entry by
one second.
For more unlock options, press MENU, select Settings & Help
then select Parental Controls. Various options for removing
restrictions temporarily or permanently will appear. Select one
and enter your passcode. You can also unlock Parental Controls
by pressing INFO while watching TV. Select Parental then Unlock
All and enter your passcode.
NOTE: If you have Parental Controls set and temporarily
unlocked, turning the Receiver off will turn Parental Controls
back on.
