Xbox help

Edesilva is correct. You need to enter the system set up menu, turn on the unit without a game in the drive and you should be able to find it. There you can select the default format 4:3 or 16x9. From that point, your left to the mercy of the game. Check the back lower corner of the box and it will give the details.

On an HD display these games really shine picture-wise.

Okay, thank you. I had tried the 16:9 set up in the xbox menu but it still cuts off the top and bottom. I am running Madden 2006 and maybe the game won't allow the 16:9 format. I will try some other games. Thanks again.

Did you change the aspect ratio on your XBox settings?

I have to assume you set your X-box to 16x9 output?

yes I have. That is why I am confused. I went to the xbox site originaly and had a live chat with a rep. Real good system I might add. The rep said that unit does that. And I should use the composit input to see the whole screen. Which I thought was bogus of the unit to be built like that> So I was wondering what was really up. I tried a couple of gaming sites to get some help and no luck. So I came to the trusty AG to get some answers.
