Parental Controls: Set Spending Limit

You can set a per purchase spending limit on pay per view pro-
grams. It is not a cumulative limit. You must lock the DIRECTV

Receiver to enforce this setting (refer to page 29).

To set the Spending Limit:

1. Choose “Set Spending Limit” from the “Parental Controls”

menu and press OK. The current purchase limit displays.

2. Enter the spending limit using the numeric buttons on the

remote. Or, use the

buttons to move from one digit to

another, then use the

▲▼

buttons to set the value for each

digit.

Parental Controls: Set Rating Limit

You can restrict viewing by setting the rating limits to certain
levels. Ratings help you determine programming content, similar
to the way films are rated. For example, a rating of "G" is a pro-
gram suitable for general audiences, while a rating of "R" might
be suitable for adults only. You must lock the system to enforce
these settings. To view a locked program, you must first enter a
password.

To set the Rating Limits:

1. Choose “Set Rating Limits” from “Parental Controls” menu

and press OK.

2. There are three rating systems to set: Children-TV, Entire

Audience-TV, and MPAA-Movies. You can lock or unlock all
ratings in each system. When you lock a particular rating, all
ratings exceeding the locked rating are automatically locked as
well. For example, if you lock "R", "NC-17” and “X”" will be
automatically locked. Press

▲▼

to select the desired limit and

press OK to lock or unlock it. The Children-TV and Entire
Audience-TV options contain sublevel ratings that can further
identify the programming content.
