US firm ClearPlay has launched a content-filtering DVD player which can automatically remove 'objectionable' scenes from movies.

The ClearPlay DVD player allows parents to edit out content such as profanity, violence, sex and nudity during DVD playback.

The device creates filtering information on a movie-by-movie basis, and parents can load the filters into the DVD player using a USB stick.

Filters for the latest DVD releases can be constantly updated, providing adults with control over what they and their children watch.

The ClearPlay DVD player includes more than 2,500 ClearPlay movie filters and a subscription to 12 months of unlimited updates as new titles are released.
