58 Chapter 2: Operating Your TV
locking by channel
After entering the passcode, you can lock specific channels. You can use the
number or ADJUST up/down keys to select the channel. Only channels in
memory can be locked. Objectionable channels need to be placed in memory,
so they can be locked. To lock by channel:
†Use the ADJUST keys to select Channel Lock: On
¢Select the input for the channels you want to lock. Your choices are:
ANT A, ANT B, DTV.
£Select the specific channel you want to lock. If DTV is the input, only
the Major channels can be locked. All Minor channels for that Major
channel will also be locked.
Your television will remember the individual channels you selected to lock,
even if Channel Lock is Off. To enable the locks again, turn the Channel
Lock to On.
⁄Important: If you have a cable box, your TV cannot completely prevent access
to cable channels. This is because your cable box channels can be
controlled outside the TV.
changing the lock
To change the lock, use ADJUST up/down in the Parent Lock menu to move
to “Set Passcode”. Use ADJUST right to move to the selection field, then:
†Enter your existing secret code in the passcode selection field.
¢Use ADJUST left to exit the passcode selection field.
£Use ADJUST right to reenter the passcode field. The message “Enter
New Code” will appear.
®To change the passcode enter a new 4 digit code. To change any digits,
press “CANCEL” to move back one space. Press ENTER/EXCH after
the fourth digit to lock in the code.
canceling the lock
To cancel the lock permanently, enter your passcode. If you locked by time,
turn “Lock by Time” in the PARENT LOCK menu to off. If you locked indi-
vidual channels, turn the “Channel Lock” off in the “LOCK BY CHANNELS”
menu.
⁄Important: If you forget your four-digit secret code, please see the Appendix
Procedure for Bypassing the Parental Lock.
