Press the
"Menu" button to set the lock code for your JVC TV. A padlock icon
will appear on the menu display.
Press "Zero"
to access the lock code function then use the left and right arrows to select
the four-digit number for your code. Use the up and down arrows to move to the
next area of the display.
Select the up or down
arrow to finish your lock code then use the left or right arrow to save your
lock code settings and exit the menu. You can return to this display if you
forget your four-digit lock code and set another code.
Write your four-digit
lock code down and keep it in a safe, private area.
Select the locked TV
channel you desire to watch or want to unlock. A message will appear on the
display requesting you to enter your lock code to unlock the channel.
Unlock your JVC TV by
entering your lock code on the 10-key pad. The message "Invalid Lock
Code!" will appear on the screen if you enter the wrong lock code.
Turn
on the TV and grab the remote. In most cases, you will need the original remote
to unlock the TV if you aren't sure of the unlock code. If you don't have the
original remote, you will need to purchase one.
Look
at the screen. If you see a blank screen with a red key on the bottom of the
screen, press 'Function' and 'Mute' at the same time. This should unlock the
channel. This is an option for people who want the TV to stay locked but, want
to be able to bypass the lock to watch a certain show or channel. All other
channels will remain locked and the TV will fully lock when it is turned off.
Unlock
all of the channels on the TV by entering the factory reset code. There are
three main reset codes that TV manufacturers set. These are 0711, 6688 and
3308. Try each one until you find the one that works. This will reset the TV to
original factory settings. When you do this, you will loose any information
that you have stored in the TV, such as favorite channels, automatic timers and
the clock. You will have to go through the full initial set up.
Call
the technical support service number in your owner's manual if none of those
codes work. A technician can help you troubleshoot the television because the
problem may not be the locking control. When you call, make sure that you have
the model number and serial number of the TV.
Take your television to a TV repair shop. In some cases, a professional who access to wiring diagrams for your television set may have to rewire certain components in order for the television to unlock. This is usually the case when the TV locks by itself while it is on.
