  1. Press the [Home] button on the remote control to access the home menu.
  2. Use the cursor buttons to select [Setup] and press the [OK] button to confirm.
  3. Press the cursor [Down] to select [Features] and press the cursor [Right].
  4. Press the cursor [Down] to select [Change Code] and press the cursor [Right].
  5. When the prompt CURRENT CODE appears on the screen, enter the universal code '8888'.
  6. Then enter an easily remembered new 4-digit access code and enter the new code a second time for confirmation.

  1. Press the [Home] button on the remote control to access the home menu.
  2. Use the cursor buttons to select [Setup] and press the [OK] button to confirm.
  3. Press the cursor [Down] to select [Features] and press the cursor [Right].
  4. Press the cursor [Down] to select [Set Code] and press the cursor [Right].
  5. When the prompt 'NEW PIN' appears on the screen, enter an easily remembered new 4-digit access code and enter the new code a second time for confirmation.
