Guest, It depends on your player some have a couple of screensavers to choose from some have only one. Check all the enteries in your Settings menu to find if you have any options to do this.
If you can not change it you could use s1res to change it. It is basically just a series of images that repeat. If you extract your firmware using s1fwx and then open it with s1res and then look under the UI30.RES> icon heading you will find the images and can swap them with others by using the export/import buttons. The new pictures will have to be the same size. Then you can reload the firmware back to your player.
You can get s1fwx and s1res from the Download>Tools section and there are guides on how to use them in the Knowledge Base section.

Have a look in our Knowledge Base section of this site.

Here is the Knowledge Base article: How to: extract firmware of your player using the S1fwx tool which can be found here.

Hope that helps.
Good luck with it.

P.S>> I don't recall being able to change the screensaver using the s1res tool, but it's worth looking though...
