Closed Caption

Closed captions are kind of subtitle, and the difference between subtitles and captions is that subtitles are intended for hearing persons and captions are for the hearing impaired. Subtitles rarely show all of the audio. For example, captions show sound effects (e.g., “phone ringing” and “footsteps”), while subtitles do not. Before you select this setting, please ensure that the disc contains closed caption information.

Color Space

Color Space is a color range that can be represented. RGB is a color space based on the RGB color model (red, green and blue) and is typically used for PC monitors. YCbCr is a color space based on a luminance signal (Y) and two color difference signals (Cb and Cr).

Deep Color

Deep Color refers to the use of various color depths in displays, up from the 24-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI specification. This extra bit depth allows HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors to billions of colors and eliminate on-screen color banding for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors. The increased contrast ratio can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white. Also Deep Color increases the number of available colors within the boundaries defined by the RGB or YCbCr color space.
