So how does this relate to the "Idle" and "Off" brightness settings?
Are these settings irrelevant when auto dim is set to manual?

idle is when it is sitting idle, ie when the screensaver kicks in.. If you have the auto brightness set to automatic, then when the player is idle, you get the idle brightness setting. If it is set to manual, then you get no change, and it stays at the brightness it was at until you press the brightness button to change it. It was a preference for those who didn't give a crap about any possible "burn-in" and pathologically hated anything that was automatically changing things when they weren't aware of it (most famous "my wife set it to dark and now it keeps going blank.").

Chalk it up to a long list of really obscure prefs that really don't accomplish a whole lot, save to quiet down the stomping feet at the time.
