TVGuardian Feature, How it works, Activation

TVGuardian® Feature

This product supports TVGuardian® Foul Language Filtering Technology, offering your family the very best control of objectionable language in your home.

How it works

TVGuardian® (TVG®) filters out objectionable language by monitoring the closed-captioned (CC) information contained on the DVD. When TVG® detects objectionable words or phrases, it mutes the audio and displays more appropriate ‘profanity free’ phrases. TVGuardian® technology also offers various levels of filtering and is easily adjustable with simple on-screen menus.

CC CHANNEL (Default: CC2)

To use the TVG® captioning features while watching a DVD movie, your television must be capable of displaying closed captions. Make sure that your TV CC is set to ‘CC2’ or ‘C2’ (Closed Caption on channel 2), and that the CC channel on your DVD player is set to “CC2”.

NOTE: TVG® monitors the CC for words and phrases that are commonly considered to be offensive. It is the parents’ responsibility to select programming with content suitable for their children. TVG® will not filter out scenes, do ‘voice over’, or filter all words and phrases that anyone may consider to be offensive. Errors in the CC can cause TVG® to miss words or phrases. TVG® works on media that includes close captioning information. Some companies may not include CC on all of their DVDs, you can verify whether a DVD supports Close Captioning by identifying the CC logo on the back cover of the DVD case. Likewise, on a VHS tape, verify the CC symbol on the case.

(1)Replaced Closed Captioning phrases are available through the TV’s Closed Caption decoder. If TV does not have a Closed Caption decoder, such as LCD screen of portable DVD players, replaced phrases may not be displayed. Regardless, TVG® will mute the filtered language.
