JP1 Remotes

Have Atlas DVR loaded into IR. Under the GENERAL tab, OTHER SETTINGS, does anyone know what the 'CBL channel control lock' and the 'CBL setup lock' do??

The channel lock is used to lock the remote to use only the cable/sat channel buttons no matter what device you are in. Turn it off and the TV channel buttons will control the TV in TV mode etc.

CBL Setup lock OFF lets you change the setup code of the CBL device if the cable or Sat device you have is not the default the remote was designed for.

To elaborate on that a little, cable companies often set the CBL setup lock to prevent users from inadvertently changing the Cable setup code to anything other than their cable box. With the lock turned on, the remote will reject any attempt to change the cable setup code when doing it on the remote itself. The lock does not affect JP1 operations, so IR can change it even if the lock is turned on.
