CHAPTER 5 : Using the Parental Control Feature
Parental Lock is a parental control feature which enables you to block
access to any particular channel. When a locked channel is selected for
viewing, your PIN code will be prompted. Only those who know your PIN
code will be able to unlock the channel for viewing. Below are 3 basic
means of using the parental lock feature.

First you must preset the channels which you want to lock when the
parental lock feature is active.
• While watching ASTRO programmes, press MENU. The main menu screen
will appear.
• Select the "List of Services" option by pressing
• Press or to highlight the channel you want to lock.
• Press OK to lock
• Enter your PIN code. Note that an asterisk V will be displayed in the 4-digit
field as you enter each digit.

entered a wrong code.
• Press OK to confirm the code.
• A symbol will appear along-side the selected channel to confirm your
choice.
• Press or to highlight other channels to be locked and press OK to
confirm.
• Repeat this step until you have identified all the channels you want to lock.
• If you have mistakenly locked a channel, you can unlock it by pressing OK
so that the symbol beside it disappears.

MENU twice to return to normal TV viewing.
