    Default Games to wide for TV problem....

    I noticed this lately, especially when playing Power Monger. Half the options are off the screen, and I caqn barely figure out what to do(course, that could just be the game it's self.

    Is there a way to fix this, or is it just the tv. I've tried the best I can with the sixing options on the tv.

    I know some games have options to move the screen around. So try looking for some display options in the game. Other than that I don't know.

    On never televisions, you can access the service (factory) menu whereby you can adjust, among other things, the size and position of the picture.
    Accessing the menu is usually made by pressing a button combination on the remote.
    I found the factory settings on my Sony pretty rough (picture was cut-out and had geometry problems) but I was able to correct these with the menu.

    Google your telly's make or model and "service mode" for further info. Make sure you wrote the factory values on a paper just in case you mess up.
