Go To Settings

Press MENU and highlight Settings. Then enter your password, highlight OK and press OK. There are two main sections of Settings: Preferences and Users. In this article, we will be going over Preferences.


 Preferences - settings that affect your overall service. This includes if rentals are shared between users, if users must log in, how on-screen alerts are handled, parental controls and blocked channels that apply to everyone, and what Theme is used.





Working With Preferences

To turn Share Rentals on or off, highlight the check box and press OK.
Require Login determines if a user name and password must be entered before being able to use your TV service.
To turn Require Login on or off, highlight the check box and press OK.

Caller ID Timeout determines how long Caller ID notifications remain on screen.
