• Inverse: Select Inverse from the PDP Protect menu to set the inverse mode or to display a
white screen.
• OFF: Inverse/white mode does not function.
• ON: The picture is displayed alternately between positive image and negative image.
• WHITE: The entire screen turns white.
• Image Sweep: When Image Sweep is set to ON, a white vertical bar moves periodically
from left to right across the screen, at a constant speed.
• Soften: Select Soften from the PDP Protect menu to reduce edges (color transitions) and
soften the image.
• OFF: Turns the SOFT FOCUS function off.
• 1, 2, 3, 4: Activates the SOFT FOCUS setting. Higher numbers create a “softer” image.
• OSD Orbiter: Select OSD Orbiter from the PDP Protect menu to enable OSD menu shift.
• ON: The position of the menu is shifted by eight dots each time the OSD is displayed.
• OFF: The OSD is always displayed at the same position.
• OSD Contrast: Select OSD Contrast from the PDP Protect menu to reduce the contrast of
the OSD menus.
• LEVEL 1: Reduced OSD contrast.
• LEVEL 2: Normal OSD contrast.
CC: Select CC from the Function menu to control the display of closed captions when
watching programs that contain them.
Select one of four captioning modes: CAPTION1, CAPTION2, CAPTION3 or CAPTION4.
CAPTION1 usually contains the native-language captions; if a program is captioned in more
than one language, those captions are carried on CAPTION2, CAPTION3 or CAPTION4.
The PlasmaView also supports “text mode” captioning; to use this feature, select TEXT1,
TEXT2, TEXT3 or TEXT4. The text modes, instead of displaying a few lines of captions
somewhere on the picture, take over all or half of the screen to display scrolling text
information. (The text modes are seldom used today, so most of the time there is no
information there to see.) The text field is sometimes used for embedding Internet data
(called Interactive TV Links, or ITV Links) in the captions.
To hide the closed captions, set this option to OFF.
CC Contrast: Select CC Contrast from the Function menu to reduce the contrast of the
closed captions.
• LEVEL 1: Reduced CC contrast.
• LEVEL 2: Normal CC contrast.
The Sharpness control (in the Picture Adjust menu) is disabled when you
turn on the Soften feature.
