Mitsubishi recommends you use contrasting

Black translucent background combined
with a white font makes an easy-to-read
combination.
Use care when selecting custom colors. Your
choice may affect the readability of captions.

The content of captions is determined by the
broadcaster. If your captions show strange
characters, misspellings, or odd grammar, it is
not a malfunction of the TV.
