Features Set:  

ClearPlay filters out offensive dialog and objectionable scenes. Filtered dialog consists of curse words and sexually charged language. Unlike all other filtering products, ClearPlay also filters scenes containing nudity, sexual situations and excessive violence. Scenes are completely filtered out as long as the storyline is not disrupted. Alternatively, scenes are filtered/edited to play seamlessly as if the filtered version is what was intended by the movie producers.

The ClearPlay website has a list of over 2000 movie filters. The USB FilterStik can store thousands of movie filters and the ClearPlay DVD player can store 300 movie filters at a time. You can upload extra movie filters and burn them to a CD or store them on a separate USB Flash device.

To find movies on the ClearPlay website, search alphabetically or by keyword. Click on the box next to the movie(s) you want to download and click the “Download” button—it’s that simple.

ClearPlay has parental settings from 1–8. The number one setting is equivalent to a G–rated film and the number seven setting is equivalent to a NC17 rating. The number eight setting will play all DVDs regardless of their content. Downloaded filters contain edits for every parental setting, so you don’t have to download a separate filter for each setting.

Use Browse on your remote control to scroll through movie titles that are on your FilterStik or downloaded onto your ClearPlay DVD player. As you scroll through each movie title, a list of the type of content (based on your filter settings) that will be filtered out is displayed for each movie.

The DVD player also includes a wide range of common features such as Frame–by–Frame advance, Title/Track Selection, Chapter Selection, Dynamic Range Compression and Surround–sound Output, and more.

Ease of Use:  

Access all the ClearPlay features with the DVD player remote control. Your TV screen displays all your options, just like a regular DVD player. Establish a password, set your preferred rating limits, and scroll through the list of downloaded movie filters. For easier searching, enter the first three letters of the movie title to advance through the alphabetical list.

Ease of Installation/Setup:  

The ClearPlay DVD Player comes with a User’s Manual, Quick Start Guide, FilterStik and cable connections, which is all you need to get started. The instructions from the Quick Start Guide make it simple to download your fist set of movie filters and transfer them to your DVD player. The ClearPlay DVD Player comes with a component video cable for easy connection to your television. The User’s Manual also provides detailed instructions for the DVD player features. To download filters, you need a USB port on your computer and a high–speed internet connection. If you have a dial up internet connection, check out the ClearPlay supported MaxPlay DVD player.

Filter Accuracy:  

The filters include every ClearPlay parental setting, so the filter accuracy is close to 100%, but keep in mind that your parental settings may not be compatible with some movies you want to watch. For example, if a pivotal scene contains violence not allowed by your parental settings, the scene may remain in the movie because it is important to the integrity of the storyline.
