A feature! There are three kinds of scan you can do:

As you point out, this is the scan you will probably need to do if
you've made major changes to the tags in your existing music.
*Playlist scan*, which scans for new play

If you mean that you want to set the brightness to zero in that mode,
then you can turn it off, then use the brightness button on the remote
to adjust.
