Let me in…!

Temporarily or permanently unlocking a restriction is easy. To temporarily unlock a

particular program:

1) When any controls are currently activated, Unlock Now will appear if you try to tune to a

restricted program.

2) SELECT Unlock Now and enter the password.

For more unlock options:

1) Press MENU, then SELECT Parental Controls.

2) Various options for removing restrictions temporarily or permanently will appear.

SELECT one and enter your password.

Also note: If you have Parental Controls set and temporarily unlocked, turning the receiver

power off will relock the box. If anyone tries to unlock restrictions using an invalid passcode,

there’s a time delay that’s added with each additional attempt to discourage them.

To change your passcode at any time:

1) Press MENU, SELECT Parental Controls, then Edit Settings.

2) Scroll down to Passcode and press SELECT.

3) Enter your old password, then enter a new one twice to conﬁ rm.

The Parental Control icon in the

Channel Banner will tell you if the

receiver is locked, temporarily

unlocked, or unlocked.
