ClearPlay Launches Content-Filtering DVD Player

by Heather McLaughlin

Are you looking for a DVD player that will filter out objectionable content? Then you’ll be happy to know that ClearPlay is on it and has just released a new DVD player that gives consumers the power to edit out content they don’t feel is appropriate for themselves or their children.

The award-winning ClearPlay DVD player empowers parents and other individuals with the ability to edit out content they find objectionable for themselves or their children — such as profanity, graphic violence, sex and nudity — during DVD playback. This is done by creating filtering information on a movie-by-movie basis, and then loading these “filters”
into the DVD player using a USB “filter stick.” This way, filters for the latest DVD releases can be constantly updated, providing parents and other adults with control over what they and their children watch. Analogous to airline or TV movie versions, it also makes many DVDs accessible to a broader audience.

The ClearPlay DVD player available at Best Buy includes more than 2,500 ClearPlay movie filters, a ClearPlay USB FilterStik(TM) for easy updates, and a USB port which can be used for easy viewing of digital photos and to load ClearPlay Filters. The Best Buy ClearPlay offering also includes twelve months of unlimited updates as new DVDs are released.

The Clearplay DVD Player is available now at Best Buy, Target and other fine retailers.
