Xbox help


Recently got an xbox and it came with a converter that the guy called a HD conveter. I suspect it is just a component converter. My problem is when using that converter, it displays in 4:3 only, not 16:9
Is anyone familiar with this? First: is there another unit out there that is better?
I guess second would be the obvious, would the DVDO be a good choice?
Thanks for any help.

Its more an HD adapter. There should be something in the set up menu to switch to 16x9 format output. Its game dependent tho'--some games are 720p, some 1080i, some 480p. Look on the box and it should show...
Edesilva is correct. You need to enter the system set up menu, turn on the unit without a game in the drive and you should be able to find it. There you can select the default format 4:3 or 16x9. From that point, your left to the mercy of the game. Check the back lower corner of the box and it will give the details.

On an HD display these games really shine picture-wise.
Okay, thank you. I had tried the 16:9 set up in the xbox menu but it still cuts off the top and bottom. I am running Madden 2006 and maybe the game won't allow the 16:9 format. I will try some other games. Thanks again.
