Service Representative.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING YOUR RECEIVER
You must lock the receiver for any parental controls you set to take effect. Locking the
receiver also locks TV1’s modulator output (see page 92). To lock the receiver, you must
first create a password (see Creating or Changing Ratings Locks on page 45). Be sure to
refer to this section whenever you have set any parental-control locks on your receiver.
