About Profiles
When you select Profiles from the main menu, you can create four personalized
profiles in addition to the default “Family” profile. You can set up specific channels,
rating limits, and spending limits for each profile. After you’ve set up these profiles,
exit the menu system. Then, press the WHO button on the remote control to scroll
through your profiles and press OK to access a certain one.
But first, personalize a profile by entering a name.
1. Select Profiles from the main menu.
2. Select a profile to edit: User 1, User 2, User 3, or User 4.
3. Select Edit User Name from the next menu.
4. Use the up, down, and right arrow buttons on the remote control to a find a
letter. Press OK to enter the letter (the icon moves to the next space).
To continue editing the profile, select DIRECTV Setup (if you have ordered
DIRECTV
®
programming) or TV Setup. The following sections describe how to set
up these features.
Tip: Accessing the main menu
Press the MENU button on the remote control to bring
up the main menu. Press the arrow buttons to
highlight an option, and press OK to select it.
If the main menu doesn’t appear, press TV or DIRECTV
(to put the remote control in the correct mode) and
then press MENU.
Tip: Using profiles as categories
You can also set up profiles as categories instead of as
users. For example, name a profile Sports and include
only sports channels in that profile. Or, name it Movies
and include movie channels, and set a rating and
spending limit for yourself and your family.
