Hi, I have an elonex exentia media center which I am very happy with, I have
an additional set top box to allow dual channel viewing/recording and output
back to my widescreen CRT TV via S Video and to my Yamaha surround sound amp
via TOS Link S/PDIF. The 2 problems I am experiencing are as follows:
The only way I can access the sound is by turning up the volume on the pc to
an ambient level and then cranking up my amp thereby gaining surround sound,
there must be a way to allow the pc to work seperately with its own sounds
on, or at least muted whilst hearing the sounds via the amp.
The second issue is the layout of the screen when viewed on the tv. It fills
the screen but is missing the top, bottom and 20% of the right hand side of
the picture. I am sure this can be addressed in the settings but am worried I
will then ruin the picture setup on the pc!
Dilemmas faced by a literate but not competent pc user. Any assistance in
plain old English appreciated. many thanks in advance. Dave

I've recently got an exentia too, and have found the same in respect of
aspect ratio output. Have you found a solution yet to get the machine to
output the full width of the screen on the s-video output?
