Thank you MZ. I forgot to mention that I have the S3 and I will try that digital setting. As far as the positioning of the subs- they very seldom are anywhere but across center or little lower. But I have noticed that they once in a great while they will go across the top; I think it's the channel or program that dictates it sometimes because even the style of font will change with it. Sanr

Digital CC has more flexibility, so if it is possible to eliminate the background it'd be with that. I don't think you'll find a way to do it with the older system. But I vaguely recall that it isn't - I'm not sure. But you may be able to play with the positioning of the subs - top or bottom, etc. To position them to obscure less important parts of the image. -- [email protected] / [email protected] Geek, Gweep, Technophile, me. www.GizmoLovers.com / www.MegaZone.org / www.Eyrie-Productions.com Hail Eris Twitter.com/megazone / Facebook.com/megazone / www.LinkedIn.com/in/megazone "A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men" 432-363-4296 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
