Change the video background color

If an unchanging image stays on the screen for too long, sometimes a faint remnant of the image will stay on the screen even after a new image has replaced it. This is called screen burn. To avoid screen burn during video playback in Media Center, you can change the shade of black that might appear on the left and right or on the top and bottom of your video.
1. Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click Windows Media Center.
2. On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to Tasks, click Settings, click General, and then click Visual and Sound Effects.
3. Under Video background color, click the plus (+) or minus (-) button to change the color. The default color is black—you can change it to different shades of gray, or to solid white.
4. Click Save.
