Introduction
Modern satellite TV programmes not only give you greater choice
and better sound and pictures - with D2-MAC - they also offer
you many improvements to make viewing more pleasurable and
to give you greater control over what you watch.
The key element are Parental Control and Conditional Access.
In all cases, you make extensive use of the On-Screen-Display
(OSD) functions of the Receiver. All changes are made using the
MENU buttons and the On-Screen-Displays.
This makes the procedures fast and easy.
Study the diagram on the rear flap and the explanations carefully.
You will then be able to make any changes you want simply by
following the instructions in the various OSD menus.
Using the Parental Lock
If you want your children only to watch one specific programme,
you can set the Receiver to show that programme only -
Children’s Channel, for example.
To set the Parental lock,
- first select the programme to lock using the button (6) on the
remote control
- press the MENU button (8) on the remote control
- press 6 to select SPECIAL FEATURES
- press 2 to select PARENTAL LOCK
- press + to select ON
- press MENU OFF
The programme number cannot now be changed on the Receiver
itself but can, of course, be changed using the remote control. To
prevent this, take the remote control with you or hide it in a
secure place.
The Parental Lock works with all programmes - D2-MAC, PAL
and SECAM - whether they are encrypted or not.
You do not need a EuroCrypt card to use the Parental Lock.
What is Parental Control?
The Receiver 901 has a Parental Control mode which you can
use to stop your children watching certain types of programmes.
Many satellite programme providers rate programmes by their
contents of sex, violence etc and transmit Parental Code
Numbers with their encrypted D2-MAC transmissions. The STU
901 can detect these numbers - and lets you programme your
Receiver so your children only watch programmes you think are
suitable.
Movies are often rated according to their suitability for particular
age groups;
- U = Universal
- PG = Parental Guidance
-12,15 and 18 = suggested viewing ages.
You can stop your children watching certain categories by using
a Secret Code.
Parental Control works only with D2-MAC encrypted
programmes for which you have a EuroCrypt card and when
the broadcaster transmits Parental Code Numbers.
