Mend Matsui VX1107A Vcr Video Recorder

How to unlock a Matsui VCR, model no:VX1107A?

I brought out my old Matsui video recorder from storage to put in the bedroom the other day and I've put the pin in three times and its now gone into lock mode.
When I switch it on it has Protected across the screen!
Anyone any ideas on how to unlock it please as i got out the manual and Mastercare want £15 to unlock it, not to mention the fee I'll be to the call center on a 087 number.

Unplug mains for 30 minutes, then plug in again. Power on, and then PRESS CH UP & REC/QTR BUTTONS TOGETHER on your machine ~ (haven't tried it via the remote) Should then come up as "Pin OK" on the blue screen

I don't think it will give problems after that I've switched mine off and it comes back on fine with out need of pin But as yet I have not unplugged it again....As I figure if it ain't broke don't fix it

Unless you power off for 30 minutes, the buttons won't reset the video.

I entered my 4 digit pin code wrongly three times by mistake, and my Matsui VX1107A vcr screen went blue with the word Protected across the screen.
I'm pretty sure I unlocked it by switching the vcr off by pulling the plug out from the mains for a couple of hours, then put the plug back in, switched the vcr on with the remote then held the (up arrow and the record buttons) together at the same time for about 5 seconds, this action unlocked mines the screen comes up to give you another 3 attempts to get your pin right.

Not sure what to do if you don't have the pin number to revert it back to the factory settings.
And also don't think you have to leave the vcr unplugged for several hours, 30 mins should do if not leave for an hour.
