Setting the bar color for Letter box and Pillar box
You can set the color of the horizontal and vertical bars displayed in Letter box and Pillar
box screen formats by using the Bar Color option in the Preferences section of the Setup
menu. The bar color can be set to either black or gray.
The gray bar color is already set and is recommended to avoid screen burn-in.
Screen burn-in is a problem that can occur on some TV displays when a dark, stable
image is displayed on the screen for an extended period, "burning" the image
permanently into the screen.
The gray bar color is recommended because lighter colors are less likely to cause burn-in.
Setting the closed caption options
Closed captions are on-screen text versions of the audio content for programs.
The Caption item in the Preferences menu allows you to turn closed captions on and off,
to set a language for the closed captions, and to choose a closed caption format (CC1,
CC2, CC3, or CC4 which may provide varying closed caption displays for some
programs).
