Advanced Settings, cont.
KidSafe
Press the
HOME
key, then select Setup,
then select Advanced, then KidSafe.
The first time you access the KidSafe
menu you are asked if you want to set up
a KidSafe Code. If you select Yes, you
see this screen. You enter a 4-digit code
that you will easily remember but that
your Kid(s) won’t guess.
After you enter a 4-digit code and press
OK, you see a screen that lets you pick a
new KidSafe code, i.e., change it. And/or
set the group of favorites that your Kids
have access to (the default group is Kids
but is grayed out if you haven’t set that
group up yet).
You can press the Side Key next to Pick
Favorites and choose a different
favorites group that you want your Kids
to have access to, e.g., any other
favorites group you’ve set up.
After you’ve done this you now have the
option to Turn KidSafe On. If you turn
KidSafe On everything in the remote
except access to the KidSafe group (and
Volume/Mute keys) is locked out. No
settings can be changed, and Channel Up/Down, and number
keys will not work.
If you try to access any other favorite group, change a setting,
or access any forbidden menu, you are asked to enter the
KidSafe code. You cannot continue unless you enter the correct
KidSafe code. See the Troubleshooting section if you forget
your KidSafe code - but don’t let your kids read this owner’s
manual!
Advanced Settings, cont.
Here we’ve set the Volume and Mute to
operate the TV; and Chan Up/Down to
operate the Cable Box; - even though the
remote is in DVD mode. Play, Stop,
Pause, etc., will operate the DVD (i.e.,
Punchthrough Not Set for Play, etc.).
You need to set up Punchthrough for each
device you’ve set up in the remote. I.e.,
you need to set up how you want the
“Volume Up/Down and Mute” “Chan Up/Down” and “Play,
Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record” keys to operate for each
device that you have set up in whatever mode the remote is set
to.
Note also that if you want some other keys to operate in a
different mode from what they normally operate in, you can
“learn” the key(s). E.g., if you want you TV’s INPUT key to
still switch the TV’s input when you’re in cable mode, you can
learn your TV’s INPUT key under cable mode.
Punchthrough, cont.
At this screen you set how you want the
Volume Up/Down and Mute keys to
operate when the remote is in TV mode.
Then select how you want the Channel Up/
Down keys to operate when the remote is
in TV mode.
Then select how you want the Play, Stop,
Pause, REW, FF, and Record keys to
operate when the remote is in TV mode.
For example, here we’ve set the Volume
and Mute keys to operate the TV in TV
mode (i.e., Punchthrough Not Set); Chan
Up/Down to operate the Cable Box; and
Play, Stop, Pause, etc., to operate the DVD
Player - even though the remote is in TV
mode.
