Major Features

The DSS menu system offers you access to more features than a single user’s manual can explain in detail, so you should spend some time exploring the different menus and display screens. Some of the major features in the DSS system allow you to:

•Select pay-per-view programs and coming attractions

•Receive on-screen messages from your program provider

•Customize the DSS system with channel lists that you build yourself

•Set spending and rating limits—then lock the system to enforce those limits.

Pay-Per-View Programs

Pay-per-view programs (PPV) are programs that you purchase—like a movie ticket—on an event-by-event basis. For instance, there might be a specific channel that runs nothing but previews for movies. After previewing the movie, you can purchase it or find out more details about it. PPV programs can also be found in the Program Guide.

Purchasing and Viewing

There are several ways to purchase PPV movies and events:

•Tune to a PPV program while pressing CHAN ▲/▼ to scan through the channel lists

or

•Select a PPV program in the Program Guide or

•Select a coming attraction from the Attractions menu.
