About your parental control PIN code
To use the Parental Control screens, you must enter your four-digit parental
control PIN. When you first use your box, your parental control PIN code is
0000. In order to make your parental control PIN code secret, you should
change it to another number that you will find easy to remember, but dicult
for others to guess.
Entering your parental control PIN code
Use the number buttons to enter your parental control PIN code (dots appear in
place of the actual digits), then press OK.
If you make a mistake while entering the parental control PIN code, press L to
delete one or more digits. If you submit an incorrect parental control PIN code,
you will see a message asking you to try again.
Note
If you enter an incorrect parental control PIN three times in a row, your parental
control PIN will be blocked for 10 minutes. You will not be able to use any
feature requiring parental control PIN entry during that time.
Blocking programmes
The Parental Control screen lets you block certain programmes.
◆ From the Settings menu, select Parental Lock and press OK.
◆ Make sure that Set up Parental Control is highlighted and press OK.
◆ Enter your 4-digit parental control PIN code. The Parental Control Settings
screen appears.
◆ From the list of parental ratings, use U or D to highlight the rating you want
to restrict (All, G, PG/PGR, AD/M, 16 or 18). When you restrict an age rating
category, all the age rating categories above it are automatically restricted.
◆ Press OK to block or unblock.
