TVGuardian, developed and licensed by Rogers, Arkansas-based Principle Solutions, Inc., has previously been available only in a stand-alone set-top box. "Families everywhere are concerned about the bad language that can be heard in today's movies," said John Sporny, National Sales Manager of Fisher AV. "Parents will especially appreciate how TVGuardian can filter out offensive words automatically when playing DVDs at home. It really works, it's easy to use, and adults can decide for themselves when filtering is appropriate, and at what level." TVGuardian uses a patented process designed to detect profanity and other offensive phrases, mute the audio and modify the incoming closed captioned signal. The process consists of monitoring the closed captioned signal found on most videos and DVDs (not home movies) and checking each captioned word against a dictionary of foul words stored in TVGuardian. If an inappropriate word or phrase is detected, the audio is muted, the offensive word is removed from the closed captioned signal, and a suitable word is substituted, when appropriate. If selected, TVGuardian can be set to: just mute the foul phrases, and not display the substitute phrases; display the substitute phrases only during the mute of offensive phrases, or; display continuous profanity-free captioning for the hearing impaired. Users can choose between two different filter modes. Strict Mode even filters out exclamatory uses of the name of God, Jesus and Christ. Moderate Mode allows these words to be heard -- particularly desirable when the DVD being watched features religious content. TVGuardian technology can normally filter out approximately 95% to 100% of foul language from DVD movies. Product feature information: Fisher DCS-TS750 slim-style DVD home theater system
