Parental Controls - DirecTV R15 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 Quick Menu, SELECT Parental Controls, then Edit Settings, and
you'll see the current status showing any restrictions. The system default is "unlocked" for all
categories.
Ratings
Here you can set rating limits for Movies and TV:
Select Ratings. Move to the right to SELECT another tab. Note: You can 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.
TV Programs
Select the TV tab, then highlight and select the TV rating you desire. You can also set ratings
for particular content (for example, Fantasy Violence, Dialogue), each of which is described
when highlighted.
Other Shows
To block programming that has no rating — such as news and sports and shows with a rating
of "None" — select the Other tab.
