User profile basics

If your DIRECTV

Receiver is going to be used by more than one person in your household,

you should consider setting up user profiles for each user.

The Profiles section of the Menu system allows you to:

•

Set ratings limits for the DIRECTV

Receiver (applies to all users).

•

Set pay per view spending limits for the DIRECTV

Receiver

(applies to all users).

•

Edit channel lists for the DIRECTV System, and customized

lists for individual users.

•

Change the color and translucency of the Menu and Guide

screens for each user profile.

•

Set which user profile is currently active.

•

Lock and unlock the system (controlling when the ratings limits,

spending limits, and channel restrictions are active).

There are five user profiles you can choose:

Family: The Family user profile is the master profile for your DIRECTV

Receiver.

The ratings limits, channel restrictions, and pay per view spending

restrictions you set in the Family profile apply to all of the user profiles.

User 1 - User 4: These four user profiles allow individuals in your household to create

custom channel lists and custom screen appearances for their own use.

These profiles can be renamed to identify them with members of your

household.

Ratings, spending, and channel restrictions set in the Family profile still

apply when one of these four user profiles is the active profile and the

system is locked.

All Channels: You can change the Screen color or Translucency in the preferences

of the set up menu.

Editing user profile names

The four profiles named User 1 - 4 can be renamed for members of your household.

The Family and All Channels profiles cannot be renamed. You can change the names of

User 1 - 4 profiles to anything you wish, using up to eight letters and numbers.

Press the MENU button on your remote control. The Main menu

appears.

Highlight the PROFILES menu item, then press the SELECT

button. The PROFILES menu appears.

Highlight the profile you wish to rename, then press the

SELECT button.

The menu for that user profile appears. The Edit User Name

item is highlighted.

Press the SELECT button to start editing the user name for

that profile.

The Edit User Name screen appears.

Type a new name for the user profile as described below:

To type each letter or number in the new name, highlight a

key on the on-screen keyboard, then press the SELECT button.

Repeat this until you have typed the entire name.

If you need to erase a letter or two, highlight the on-screen

left arrow (near the top-right corner of the keyboard), then

press the SELECT button.

To erase the entire name, highlight the on-screen Clear key,

then press the select button.

When you have finished typing the user profile name, highlight the on-screen Back button,

then press the SELECT button.
