Xbox help

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.

I figured it was the cheap component that I used for the conversion was the culprit. I went to rat shack and picked up the monster cable version. Put it on and bamo!!! Same thing. Top and bottom cut off. Could my unit be defective? Everyone else is having no problem with this?

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.

I just went through the setup again. The xbox settings for video can be standard , letterbox, or widescreen. I have chose both letterbox and widescreen and the top and bottom are cut off. hmmmm...

I finaly got it to work with the Monster cable. (blushing) I found my original TV remote and saw I could change the picture settings on my TV. There was like 5 different settings and I just choose the on that works. I don't think I helped you though. Sorry.
Now if I could just get off the damn Xbox I would be a lot better .
