Channel and menu protection
CHANNEL LOCK
Some channels broadcast material which you do not want younger members of
the family to watch. Any channel can be “locked” so that it cannot be selected for
viewing without first a four-digit PIN code being entered. In this way any channel
not suitable for younger viewers can be protected.
The channel lock is applied with the channel list menu. Press the MENU key on
the remote control handset to display the main menu and then, using the UP or
DOWN keys on the remote control, make sure that the first item, “Channel List”,
is highlighted in yellow and press the SELECT key.
Highlight the channel to be locked using the UP or DOWN keys. Now select the
LOCK button at the base of the screen with the LEFT or RIGHT keys and press
SELECT.
A window requesting the PIN code is
displayed and the four-digit code
should be entered using the numerical
keys on the remote control, followed
by the SELECT key. A lock icon is then
displayed alongside the channel name
in the channel list.
You can now leave the channel list
screen and return to normal TV
viewing by pressing MENU. Any
attempt to change channel to the
locked channel will now display the
same window requesting the PIN
code and the channel will only be
displayed on entry of the correct
code. To remove the lock on a
channel, repeat the same process
as to lock the channel.
Hint
The PIN is factory set to 0000. this
code should be reset (as described
below) to another sequence of
numbers, known only to you, when
you have finished setting up the
receiver.
