I'm not sure if it even can. I will look when I next get access to the system (currently in use by other members of the household). Perhaps somewhere we have a manual for it? I really don't know. I agree, that it would be preferable to not have to make the computer fudge it, but if after having spent time trying to fix it on the TV itself multiple times, only to find that all options I have found, end up producing very undesirable results (such as displaying it a 4:3 aspect ratio, or a 2:1 aspect ratio). I'll see if I can find what I need. I do know that if I could get the TV to change the setting for that so it doesn't end up overscanning, without doing other "weird" stuff, it would mean that I could see the full boot process, not missing bits of it off the edge of the screen.
