Parental Controls - DirecTV H23 User Manual

Parental Controls

Parental Controls enables parents to place certain restrictions on just who's watching what, and require a
passcode to view restricted programming. Whether it's for mature content or spending amounts, you're
always able to keep limitations where you want them for the whole family.
Press MENU to display the Menu, SELECT Parental, then Edit Settings, and you'll see the current
status showing any restrictions. Th e system default is "unlocked" for all categories.
Adult Channels
You can block all adult channels and programs from your receiver so that they do not appear in the
Guide or the Scheduler. Once these channels are hidden, they can't be tuned, so it will be as though
they don't exist. Select Adult Channels from the left menu, then press SELECT on Hide Adult.
Ratings
Here you can set rating limits for Movies and TV:
1) SELECT Ratings.
2) Highlight the desired tab using the ARROW keys and press SELECT. Note: You can also use RED
or GREEN to cycle tabs.
Movies
Highlight and select the Movies tab, then set the overall rating limit you wish to impose. Brief
descriptions of the ratings appear for your guidance.
