Your DIRECTV DRE service provides limited Parental Control. As a result, Parental Control functionality is not controlled
via a centralized server and can only be enabled and disabled on each receiver using the receiver’s user interface.
It is recommended that you track the receivers that may be in Parental Control mode and disable that feature after guest
check-out to ensure there are no Parental Control limitations when a new guest occupies that room.
PLEASE NOTE:
Power Cycling the DRE Receiver does not disable/reset Parental Control.
Parental Control can only be disabled via Keyword Search or MCS.
