Keep Others From Watching a Recording
You can keep others from watching a recording by using the Block feature. When
using this feature, keep in mind that you can block only recordings that you are
not watching. This feature is useful if children also use the Entertainment Server
and you do not want them to watch certain recordings.
Note: To block a program that is scheduled to be recorded, block the program
from the General Settings menu. (For details, see “Keep Others from Watching a
Program” on page 25.) The Entertainment Server will record the program, but the
recording can be watched only after entering your 4-digit Parental Blocking PIN.
