The menu contents of safe mode are as follows.

You can set the resolution and HDCP.
You need to restart once to change the resolution.
After restarting, the screen will display five options: 'Auto', '720p', '1080i', '1080p', and '2160p'. The resolution can also be changed from the normal 'Settings'. Once selected, you will be returned to the normal home screen.
HDCP is a copyright protection encryption technology used in the HDMI standard. It is this HDCP that causes the PlayStation 5 video to disappear when captured on a PC with a capture board. PlayStation 5 can turn off HDCP from the settings by default, but in safe mode you can switch HDCP between 'automatic' and 'HDCP 1.4 only'. PlayStation 5, which can output 8K resolution, is considered to be compatible with HDCP 2.3, so switching HDCP in safe mode is 'when the image cannot be displayed on a 4K TV that does not support HDCP 2.2 or higher'.
