Locks allow you to password-protect programming based on ratings, or on a channel-by-
channel basis. When you have locked the receiver:
• If you try to access a locked item or open the Locks menu, the receiver displays a
message prompting you to enter the password.
• The receiver allows you three attempts to enter the correct password. If you fail to
enter the correct password, the receiver does not allow you to try again for several
minutes.
• If you enter the correct password, you can access the locked item or open the Locks
menu.
• If you exit a locked item or close the Locks menu, you must enter the password to
access the item.
Locks for programming on the TV1 outputs for the nearby TV are set using the TV1
menus. Locks for programming for the TV2 outputs to remote TVs are set using the TV2
menus. Locks set for TV1 programming are separate from locks set for TV2 programming.
The information in this chapter applies to locks set by either TV1 or TV2 menus.
Locking the receiver is a two-step process:
1
Create the locks that you want.
2
Lock the receiver.
When the receiver is locked, anyone who wants to access locked items must enter the
password.
