WELCOME TO HDTV High Definition refers to a new way of sending programming information over the airwaves and into your TV. There are two types of TV display formats available. One is ATSC format, which originated from the Advanced Television Systems Committee. The other is NTSC format, which is named for the National Television Systems Committee. What makes your High Definition Television (HDTV) special is that it has tuners capable of receiving ATSC and NTSC formats as well as digital satellite signals.

USING THE PROFILES ABOUT PROFILES When you select Profiles from the main menu, you can create four different profiles in addition to the pre-set “Family” profile. You can set up specific channels, rating limits, and spending limits for each profile. After you’ve set up these profiles, press the WHO button on the remote control to scroll through your profiles and access a certain one. But first, personalize a profile by entering a name. 1.

USING THE PROFILES After a spending limit is set and the system is locked, you must enter a password to purchase a pay per view program that costs more than your spending limit allows. The system will then temporarily unlock the limits you have set until the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system will be locked again. Important! You need to lock the system in order for rating limits, channel limits, and spending limits to go into effect.
USING THE PROFILES THE TV SETUP You can establish TV channel lists, set spending limits, and set rating limits for TV programs using the TV Setup menu. Editing Channels in a TV List You should create a TV channel list to establish which TV channels (including both analog and digital) the selected profile can access. To create the TV channel list: 1. Select a user. 2. Select Edit Channels.
USING THE PROFILES SETTING THE TV RATING The Set TV Rating menu enables you to program your TV so children cannot see certain programs or channels. The last three choices in the TV Setup menu involve software inside your TV (often called V-Chip) which allows you to “block” TV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view. In other words, it lets you program your TV so it will not display certain programs.
USING THE PROFILES To set TV programming limits: 1. From the main menu, select Profiles. 2. Select the user name you would like to set limits for through the Profiles menu. 3. Select TV Setup from the next menu. 4. Select Set TV Rating.
USING THE PROFILES BLOCKING AGE-BASED RATINGS You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-based rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch programs that have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch only TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y programs), then you need to block other programming with higher ratings. When you change the status of a rating to Block, the system will automatically block higher ratings and all corresponding content themes.
USING THE PROFILES Blocking Specific Content Themes You must remember to lock the system for rating limits to take effect. You can block programs based on their content. (Content is represented by the D, L, S, V, and FV on your screen. See “Setting the TV Rating” for details.) When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well.
USING THE PROFILES SETTING THE MOVIE RATING You set movie rating limits by blocking movies rated above a specified level. To access the Set Movie Rating menu: 1. From the main menu, select Profiles. 2. Select the user for whom you would like to set limits. 3. Select TV Setup from the next menu. Please note that the rating limits you set while in the TV Setup menu apply only to TV programs—they do not apply to DIRECTV programs.
USING THE PROFILES Viewing Movie Ratings After you block movie ratings, you have the option of going back and changing some of the rating status buttons back to View: 1. Determine the movie ratings you want to change to View ( V). 2. Use the arrows to highlight the status button you want to change. Some movies may be given a “Not Rated” rating. After blocking movie ratings, you must separately set “Not Rated Movies” to View to see these movies. 3. Press OK to change its status back to View.
USING THE PROFILES CHOOSING YOUR PROFILE Each time you turn on the TV, the Family profile is selected by default. To select a different profile: 1. Press the WHO button to scroll through the profiles in the channel banner. Family Press OK to Select The WHO button toggles through the profiles. 2. When your profile appears, enter your four-digit personal password to access your profile. If the profile is not password protected, you can just press OK to activate it.
USING THE PROFILES LOCKING AND UNLOCKING A USER PROFILE When you lock a profile, you prevent anyone who does not know the user password from accessing the locked profile. This applies only when they press WHO on the remote control. It does not prevent them from accessing and editing the profile via the main menu if they first enter the system password. When you lock a profile (excluding “Family”), you lock its channel limits, rating limits, and spending limits.
USING THE PROFILES LOCKING THE SYSTEM When you lock the system, all limits set up for all profiles are put into effect, regardless of whether the profile is locked or unlocked. Unlocked profiles require no user password to access their channel list if the system is locked. When the system is locked, you can still access a profile and watch a channel in its channel list (if the profile is locked, however, you must have the user password).
