Why is my TV chopping off the edges of the image?

THEA500 Mini creates a full 720p HD television picture. Some TVs are not completely 720p capable and may scale or crop the image so that it fits the screen. The result is that the edges of the image may not be displayed.

If you have a TV that is doing this, there are two common fixes:

  1. Disable any scaling the TV is performing by changing the TV settings (preferred)

or

  1. Tell THEA500 Mini to avoid using the screen edges by turning off the setting Use screen edges in Options → Advanced settings → Television settings. This creates a safe margin around the game image so that most non-compliant TVs can display the image completely.
