Screensaver mode

Settings level:	Basic
Description:	Select the screensaver to be installed. The "Dim" screensaver is enabled by default and will be forced when fullscreen video playback is paused or a dialogue box is active and may also prevent other screenaver add-ons from operating in these two scenarios. It will assist in preventing screen burn-in.

Settings

Settings level:	Standard
Description:	Select to change the screensaver specific settings. Which options are available for configuration depends on the features provided by the screensaver add-on.

Preview

Settings level:	Standard
Description:	Preview the selected screensaver. Useful when adjusting settings.

Wait time

Settings level:	Basic
Description:	Set the inactivity time before displaying the screensaver.

Use visualisation if playing audio

Settings level:	Basic
Description:	If music is being played, the selected visualisation will be started instead of displaying the screensaver. Note: If a screensaver is enabled here, the screensaver will display after the Wait Time has elapsed.

Use dim if paused during video playback

Settings level:	Standard
Description:	If a video is paused for the Wait Time set above, the screen will dim to help reduce the possibility of screen burn-in. If the selected screensaver is the default "Dim" screensaver, this option is not accessible and is enabled by default.
