Use the up/down keys to select a channel and press the OK key to lock/unlock that channel. Parental control on timer events When you select a programmed event within the timer menu and the items are validated successfully, the TV will check if censorship is enabled or if the channel is parentally locked. In both cases you will be asked to enter the PIN number with the number keys. This will remove viewing restrictions for the duration of the programming. In the programming menu a PIN icon will be displayed at the end of the programming line when a valid PIN has been entered. In case the channel has been parentally locked: If the PIN has not been entered before the menu is timed out or if it is cancelled the event will NOT be added to the timer programming list and the display will return to the enter details menu. In case the censorship level has been set above no-block: If the PIN has not been entered before the menu is timed out or if it is skipped, the event will still be added to the programming list. The restrictions will apply to the event depending on its censorship level. The programming will still be added since the censorship level is not known at the time of the programming. If the PIN was not entered during the timer programming or skipped and a restriction applies, the sound and picture will be muted and a banner will appear on the screen which tells you that the channel is parentally locked or the censorship value of the event is higher than the set censorship level. If a channel has been locked after the programming took place no PIN has been entered. Therefore a restriction will apply. Using your TCX-170 Digital TV Receiver Using the TCX-170 Digital TV Receiver The receiver is completely operated using the remote control and the On-Screen Display (OSD). As Digital Television allows for more information to be transmitted, a number of functions are available that did not exist for "normal" analogue TV.
