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.
