Locking or Unlocking the Front Panel
LOCKING OR UNLOCKING THE FRONT PANEL
This lock keeps anyone from using the front panel buttons unless they enter the correct
password, but it does not lock the remote control buttons. This option is only available on
TV1 menus.
1 Press MENU and select Locks.
2 If the receiver is locked, enter the password using the NUMBER PAD. The receiver
displays stars (*) as you enter the digits of the password. Select OK.
3 Select Front Panel Lock to lock or unlock the front panel.
4 Select Yes. To activate the Front Panel Lock, you must lock the receiver—make sure the
receiver is locked as described on page 45.
TIPS
• If the receiver displays a message prompting you to enter a password, the receiver is
locked.
• If you want to unlock the receiver or any specific lock, use the password for the TV
output you’re watching. For example, use TV1’s password to unlock TV1’s locks and
TV2’s password for TV2’s locks.
• When you lock a rating, you also lock all other more restrictive ratings. For example, if
you lock PG-13 rated programs, then all programs with the R, NC-17, and NR/AO
ratings are also locked.
