Locks allow you to password-protect programming based on ratings, or on a channel-by-
channel basis. When you have locked the receiver:

If you try to access a locked item or open the Locks menu, the receiver displays a 
message prompting you to enter the password.

The receiver allows three attempts to enter the correct password. If you fail to enter 
the correct password, the receiver does not allow you to try again for several minutes.

If you enter the correct password, you can access the locked item or open the Locks 
menu.

If you exit a locked item or close the Locks menu, you must enter the password to 
access the item again.

Locking the receiver is a two-step process:

1

Choose the locks that you want. Available locks types are:

Ratings Locks—locks programs based on ratings.

Channel Locks—locks channels regardless of content.

Lock PPV—prevents unauthorized pay-per-view or on demand ordering.

Hide Adult or Hide Locked—hides adult channels or locked channels from being dis-
played in the Program Guide and other channel lists.

Front Panel Lock—prevents the front panel buttons from being used.

2

Lock the system. When the receiver is locked, anyone who wants to access locked items 
must enter the password.

You can lock programs based on Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) ratings 
(PG, PG-13, etc.) and expanded ratings (violence, language, etc.).
