Parental Fav’s & Setup
Parental Controls
Selecting “Parental, Fav’s & Setup” in the “main menu” displays a submenu of
items that lets you customize and adjust your DIRECTV viewing experience.
•
You can choose “Parental Controls” to limit what ratings your children are
allowed to watch, how much they can spend for Pay Per View shows or
even what hours they can watch DIRECTV Programming.
• Choose “Favorite Channels” to set up your own personal list of favorite
channels and then use it in the program guide for a more customized
experience.
• Select “System Setup” to adjust and configure how you want your TV and
DIRECTV
®
System to work together.
“Parental Controls” enables parents to place certain restrictions on just who’s
watching what, and requires a passcode to view restricted programming.
Whether it’s for mature content, spending amounts, or even the number of
hours of TV watching allowed, you’re always able to keep limitations where you
want them for the whole family.
Press MENU, select “Parental, Fav’s & Setup,” select “Parental Controls,” then
“Edit Settings,” and you’ll see the current status, showing any restrictions. The
system default is “unlocked” for all categories.
