USING THE PROFILES
LOCKING THE SYSTEM
When you lock the system, all limits set up for all profiles are put into effect, regardless of
whether the profile is locked or unlocked. Unlocked profiles require no user password to
access their channel list if the system is locked.
When the system is locked, you can still access a profile and watch a channel in its
channel list (if the profile is locked, however, you must have the user password). Locking
the system activates all rating, spending, viewing, and channel limits for all profiles. When
you lock the system, no one can modify any of these settings without first entering the
four-digit system password.
1. Select Profiles from the main menu. Then select Lock System and press OK. Or, press
INFO on the remote control and select the green unlock icon from the channel
banner.

Unlocking the System
When the system is unlocked, the channel, spending, viewing, and ratings limits that you
set are no longer in effect. To unlock:
1. Highlight Unlock System in the Profiles menu and press OK.
2. Highlight Yes and press OK to confirm that you want to unlock the system.
When you attempt to access a channel that is blocked by one or more limits and the
system is locked, you will be asked to temporarily unlock the system by entering the four-
digit system password.
If you enter the system password to override a limit, all limits are unlocked until you turn
off the TV. When you turn on the TV again, the system will be locked, and the Family
profile channel list will be selected. If you want to re-lock the system without turning off
the TV, you can select the lock icon in the channel banner.
The Lock/Unlock icons in the
channel banner are an easy way to
lock or unlock the system. Press
INFO and select the icon to change
the lock status.
