How to change video settings

To adjust the picture display for a normal, letterbox, or widescreen picture, restart your Xbox with no disc in the disc tray, select Settings, select Video, and then select one of the following options:

• Normal - Displays in normal TV proportions by removing the top black bars from a standard TV. This option adds black side bars to a widescreen TV.
  
  
• Letterbox - Displays in full widescreen view on a normal TV. To keep the correct proportions, it will add black bars to the top and bottom.
  
  
• Widescreen - Removes the black side bars on a widescreen TV. On a standard TV this will compress the screen horizontally, resulting in a vertical distortion of the picture.
