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.
