HOW TO<br />

Using your controller, select RASPI-CONFIG and<br />

hit the primary selection button on the controller.<br />

Configure system-wide settings<br />

If you did what we wrote above, either wired or<br />

wireless, you should now be in the Raspberry Pi system<br />

settings program. It’s a blue screen with text-based<br />

menus (see below).<br />

Under Advanced Options and then Overscan. When<br />

it asks you if you would like to enable compensation for<br />

displays with overscan, select No if you’re hooked up to<br />

an HDMI TV or monitor. Overscan compensation makes<br />

the image smaller so you don’t lose information off the<br />

sides of the screen if you’re using an old-style TV set.<br />

The only time you’d want to hit Yes here is if you are<br />

using a composite TV set with a special cable.<br />

After you’re done setting that up, back out of those<br />

menus and select Finish. Then restart your Raspberry<br />

Pi. If you have a USB controller, hit the start button and<br />

choose Restart. If you’re at a text prompt, type: sudo<br />

shutdown -r now and the system will reboot.<br />
