:
On Mute: (Default) Captions are displayed when off ensive
language is being fi ltered
On Continuous: Captions are always displayed continually (see
NOTE (2) below)
CC Channel: To use the TVG® captioning features while watching
a DVD movie, your television must be capable of displaying
closed captions. Make sure your TV CC is set to “CC2” or “C2”
(Close Caption on channel 2), and that the CC channel on your
DVD player is set to “CC2” (this is the default setting).
NOTE: TVGuardian® fi lters 95% of foul language of the words that are closed captioned. TVG®
monitors the CC for words and phrases that are commonly considered to be off ensive. TVG® will not fi lter out
scenes, do “voice over”, or fi lter all words and phrases that anyone may consider to be off ensive. Errors in CC
can cause TVG® to miss words or phrases. TVG® works on media that includes closed captioning information.
Some companies may not include their CC on all of their DVDs; you can verify whether a DVD supports Closed
Captioning by identifying the CC logo on the back cover of the DVD case.
(2) Replaced Closed Captioning phrases are available through the TV’s Closed Captioning decoder. If the TV does
not have a Closed Captioning decoder, such as the LCD screen of portable DVD players, replaced phrases may not
be displayed. Regardless, TVG® will mute the fi ltered language.
