WHEN YOU HAVE LOCKED THE RECEIVER
If you try to access a locked item or open the Parental and System 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 more tries for
several minutes.
If you enter the correct password, you can access the locked item or open
the
Parental and System Locks menu.
If you exit a locked item or close the
Parental and System Locks menu,
you must enter the password again to access the item or open the menu
again.
If you forget your password, you will need to call the Customer
Service Center. You may need to provide the following
information: (1) your name; (2) your address; (3) your telephone
number; (4) the receiver serial identification number; and (5)
your Personal Identification Number (PIN), if used.
