Parental Controls
The 
Parental Controls 
screen lets you lock channels 
you do not want others (such as children) to access 
without your permission. Locked channels will 
appear on Channel List screens with a lock icon next 
to the channel number, and will display “Locked” in 
place of artist and program information. 
Attempting to tune to a locked channel by tapping 
its Channel List entry or using Direct Tuning will 
display an 
Enter Parental Code
 keypad screen. The 
locked channel can only be tuned-to if the correct 
4-digit code is entered.
Parental Controls: Tap the 
ON/OFF
 button to 
turn parental controls ON or OFF. When activating 
parental controls for the first time the 
Enter 
Parental Code 
screen will appear. Use the 10-
key pad to create your personal 4-digit code. 
(The numbers you enter will appear at the top of the 
screen as you enter them.) When you’re satisfied 
with your code, tap the OK button.
