THE DVR AND YOUR MULTI-ROOM DVR SYSTEM, CONTINUED

SET UP PARENTAL CONTROL ON MULTI-ROOM DVR CLIENT SET-TOPS

After you have decided how to restrict viewing for the set-tops in your home, set up a

Parental Control PIN for each client set-top. All of the set-tops in your system need a

Parental Control PIN to view blocked programs. If you do not plan to block

programming or recordings, you do not need to set up a Parental Control PIN.

ON THE CLIENT SET-TOP:

PIN Entry

Enter your PIN to turn OFF Parental Control

and ALLOW viewing of this PROGRAM only.

The symbol indicates that a recording

is blocked and can be played only by

entering a Parental Control PIN.

When selecting a recording that the Multi-

Room DVR server has blocked, users must

enter a Parental Control PIN.

Note: Turning off parental control here does

not unblock this recording on other TVs.

SELECTING A PARENTAL CONTROL PIN

When selecting a number for the Parental Control PIN, keep the following in mind:

• The PIN must contain four digits.

• You may use a PIN that is unique to each Multi-Room DVR system set-top in

your home, or you may use the same PIN for all Multi-Room DVR system set-

tops.

• You may use a PIN that is the same or different from the pay-per-view PIN.

After you have selected a 4-digit number to use as a Parental Control PIN, set up the

PIN by following the steps in “Setting or Changing the Parental Control PIN” below.
