Using a password
The plasma television provides the Channel lock function and Child
lock function for preventing children from watching inappropriate
programmes. You need to enter a password when watching
programmes with "Block" specified. Before the system is shipped,
"1234" is preset as the factory-default password. You can however,
change the password as you want.
You will need to enter the password before using the "Auto
Installation", "Analogue TV Setup", "DTV Setup", or "Password"
functions from the Home Menu. This is to prevent unauthorized
changes to the settings.
Entering a password
You will need to enter the password after selecting a channel blocked
with the Channel Lock or Child Lock function, and before you can use
some of the menu functions.
