To Access the Screen Menu

  1. Access the Wii System Settings (how to).
  2. Choose "Screen" on System Settings 1.

There are four options within the Screen menu. Which do you need help with?

 

 

Screen Position

This option adjusts the left and right position that the image is displayed on the television.

  1. Point at the left or right arrows next to the number in the center.
  2. Press the A Button on with the cursor over the arrows to move the screen position left or right. The maximum amount of change is -8 (Left) or 8+ (Right).
  3. Point on the "Confirm" button and press the A Button to set the position.

 

 

Widescreen Settings

You can change the screen format for your Wii display by selecting Widescreen (16:9) or Standard (4:3). Please note that in addition to using the Wii's setting, you must also adjust your television's options to take advantage of its own widescreen mode. Some television sets will not change to widescreen display even when receiving widescreen input from the Wii console.

  1. Point at the screen ratio you would like to display the image in and press the A Button.
  2. Point on the "Confirm" button and press the A Button to set the position.

 

 

 

TV Resolution

Certain Wii software will support a 480p (progressive) picture, which displays at a higher resolution than the standard 480i (interlaced) resolution. Please note that you must have the Wii Component Video Cables, and your TV must support 480p in order to enable it.

  1. Point at the screen ration you would like to display the image in and press the A Button.
  2. Click the "Confirm" button to set the screen position.

 

 

 

 

Screen Burn-in Reduction

When images are in the same spots for long periods of time, some television screens suffer "screen burn-in." The Wii Console can help prevent this effect with its Screen Burn-in Reduction feature. When activated, the Wii console will fade the screen when Wii software is paused for five or more minutes. To revert the screen to its original brightness, press any button on the Wii Remote other than the Power Button.

Important Notes:

  • Your TV may also have its own screen burn-in reduction function that may fade back the screen imagery or darken it entirely.
  • Wii's Screen Burn-in Reduction does not work while playing Nintendo GameCube software.

  1. Point at the screen ration you would like to display the image in and press the A Button.
  2. Point on the "Confirm" button and press the A Button to set the position.
