Hey Dale, I think there is an easy solution to your problem. As soon as you put the playback into slow-motion, press the “Exit” button on the remote. It should stay in slow-motion, but the shading and progress bar at the bottom of the screen should disappear. At least that’s what happens with my contour box. Hope this helps.
I concur with Raskie, the Exit button will close the overlap display. I've used it on the fast fwd/back. Sorry I got carried away about the Screen Display answers I preciously posted, but hey, I did have some problems with some old SP movies not fitting the screen.
