•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.
Last Mode: Select Last Mode from the Function menu to specify which input signal is
displayed when you turn on the PlasmaView. You can also specify an initial audio volume
level.
You can select a specific input or volume level (0 to 42). Or, select LAST to have the
PlasmaView set the input and volume to what they were the last time it was turned off.
Advanced OSD: To have access to all PlasmaView menus and settings, select Advanced OSD
from the Function menu and set it to ON.
Once the PlasmaView has been installed and calibrated, you may wish to have it display only
a subset of its menus, for the sake of simplicity. If so, set Advanced OSD to OFF. When you do,
the PlasmaView hides the menu items shown in italics in
Figure 4-2.
