Default Re: 2 things that bother me about widescreen format

Find out how to adjust the overscan on your set. Overscan hides the extreme hard edges of the picture sometimes along with timers and other info that nobody wants to see. About 1-2% overscan is good. Your set is probably adjusted to around 10-15% if it is chopping off the subtitles.

It will not be a remote setting. You will have to get into the service mode of your tv (usually by pressing a series of random remote buttons - look online for your code). Sometimes HD mode overscan is different than regular 4:3 mode overscan so you might have 2 settings. Make sure you know what you are adjusting in there though because you can ruin your tv if you adjust random stuff.
