I don't know why Kenwood specifies 16 bit and R5, G6 and B5 other than that is what I was told by Kenwood tech support, and that is the consensus of everyone on the web. But I found a freeware program called Gimp2 and I was able to create the file and it works perfectly. Thanks anyway. Now I am trying to find out if I can do something similar with a Pioneer AVH-P4400BH dvd receiver (from 2012). But I am told Pioneer requires a JPG file.

For my Kenwood receiver splash screen, I require an 800x480 16-bit BMP file with RGB vales of R5,G6 and B5. It seems that in paint.net I can create an 8-bit, a 24-bit or a default, with no other user-selectable parameters. Am I missing anything? Do I need to use a different program? Thanks. Ron
