Multi-User Mode & Parental Controls - Shaw Direct Satellite TV User Manual

3C. Multi-User Mode & Parental Controls
As explained in section 3A, Multi-User mode allows you to create up to eight customized "profiles", each
with their own preferences, permissions, and restrictions.
While in Multi-User mode, the first profile on the system is known as the "Primary Owner". Full access to
the entire system is granted while this profile is active, so it's a good idea to set a PIN if you plan to
enforce any type of restrictions for other profiles. It is not possible to delete or apply any restrictions to
this profile, although you can change the name and avatar.
Profiles designated as type "Owner" are able to modify settings and restrictions for all profiles,
including their own. If you are operating with modified permissions for any user, it is imparitive that
ALL owner-level profiles on your receiver have a PIN set.
To create a new profile, press MENU, navigate to "Settings," and select "Parental Controls." You should
be presented with the "Select A User" screen – RIGHT arrow over to "Add a new user". If you already set
up an Owner profile PIN, you'll need to enter it now.
You will then be asked to select a profile type with pre-set defaults, as listed in the table below, select
which type you're looking to set up. Don't worry, all settings can be adjusted later.
