Using Locks

Note

: Locks for programming on the

TV1

outputs for the nearby TV are set

using the receiver’s

Lock

menus. The section below applies to all locks you set.

How to Set Locks: A Two-Step Process

1. Create the locks that you want.

2. Then lock the receiver.

When the receiver is locked, anyone who wants to access locked items must

enter the password to do so.

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 tries to enter the correct password. If you fail

to enter the correct password, the receiver does not allow any more tries for

several minutes.

If you enter the correct password, then you can access the locked item or

open the

Locks

menu.

If you exit a locked item or close the

Locks

menu, you must re-enter the

password to access the item or menu.

Locking and Unlocking the Receiver

You must lock the receiver for any receiver

Locks

you have set to take effect.

And to lock the receiver, you must first create a password. If you forget your

password, you will need to speak with a Customer Service Representative. If

you have a Personal Identification Number (PIN), you will need to give it to the

Customer Service Representative. See page 81 for information on PINs.

1. Press the MENU button to display the

Main Menu

.

2. Select the

Locks

option to display the

Locks

menu.

Note

: If the receiver displays a message prompting you to enter a

password, then the receiver has already been locked.

When you unlock programming delivered by the receiver’s

outputs to your coaxial cabling, you are allowing all TVs

connected to your reciever to have access to the same

programming. In this case, you must rely on the V-Chip

technology and settings in the individual televisions to prevent

viewing of inappropriate programming. Consult your TVs’

user guides for instructions to set up V-Chip protection.
