Answer 1

Press the "MENU" button.

Highlight the "SYSTEM SETUP" option and press "SELECT".

Highlight the "INSTALLATION and SETUP" option, press "SELECT".

Highlight the "SYSTEM INFO" option and press "SELECT".

The version software that your unit is running will be displayed about 1/3 of the way down the screen.

If the version listed is the same as (or higher than) the version listed above for your receiver, you can take advantage of this new feature. Click Here for detailed instructions.

If the version listed is lower than the version listed above for your receiver, you need to download the new software; follow the next steps.

Turn the receiver OFF.

Let the receiver stay off for 5 minutes (10 minutes on the Model 4700).

If the new software is available, your system will automatically take the download. You will notice the green power LED come on while the system is downloading.



The new "Adult Guard" feature gives you the capability to remove the "Adult" channels (Playboy, TeN, Hot Zone, ETC, Extasy) from your Electronic Program Guide. This prevents any children in the household from viewing the programming OR accessing the program information. To activate "Adult Guard," follow these simple steps. (NOTE: procedure may vary for some receivers.)

Press the "MENU" button.

Highlight the "LOCKS" option, press "SELECT."

Choose the "CHANNEL LOCKS" option, press "SELECT."

Scroll through the listed channel numbers until you find channel 490. Highlight this channel and press the "SELECT" button once. (NOTE: You should see a checkmark appear next to the channel information.)

Highlight the "SAVE" option, press "SELECT."

Highlight the "LOCK SYSTEM" option, press "SELECT."

Enter a 4-digit password, then highlight OK and press "SELECT."

Re-enter the password for confirmation, then highlight OK and press "SELECT."

Your system is now locked. (NOTE: this also automatically locks out the PPV channels, and requires the password to be entered to view or order PPV.)

Press the "GUIDE" button, notice the padlock in the upper left corner is now closed, and the adult channels are no longer listed in the guide.
