PASSCODE Setting
Overview
The security passcode setting is used to limit access to Parental Guide (V-Chip) and Channel Lock
functions. The same security passcode is used for both functionality. By default, this display is
shipped with the security passcode set at 0000.
Changing the Passcode
To change the security passcode:
1. Press the MENU +/- keys on the remote or the front control panel
to display the OSD menu.
2. Use the ADJ +/- keys to navigate to “TV” OSD submenu.
3. Use the MENU +/- keys to scroll to the “SET PARENTAL
CODE” selection.
4. Press the ADJ + key to set the selection to “ENABLE”. As soon
as you press this button, the Passcode setting menu will be dis-
played (see Figure 1).
5. Press the default factory passcode 0,0,0,0 if you’re setting this
passcode for the first time. If you’ve previously set the passcode,
then enter your the set passcode. If it is entered correctly, then a
new passcode menu will be displayed (see Figure 2).
6. Enter a new 4-digit passcode by using the number keypad. Once
entered, you will be prompted to re-key the same passcode to ver-
ify your setting (see Figure 3).
7. After setting the new passcode, the new passcode will be applica-
ble to all of your previous set Channel Lock or V-Chip functions.
Notes:
„ When you are entering the 4-digit passcode, please enter the digits
slowly and make sure that the display confirms the reception of
the code. The display will change from “?” to “+” as it received
the passcode.
„ If you incorrectly enter the wrong passcode three times, the until
will automatically go back to the “TV” OSD sub-menu. Repeat
the above procedure to reset your passode.
„ If you incorrectly enter “NEW PASSCODE” three times, the dis-
play will go back to the “Press NEW PASSCODE” step and
request that you set the new passcode again.
