need to "unzoom" picture - zoom menu choices not avail

My TV picture seems like it is zoomed in - the edges are cut off. I try clicking the Enter/Zoom button on my remote and get an Options menu, but none of the options have anything to do with the display. I have an HD TV but do not have HD cable. Not sure how to correct my display. Any suggestions?

Depends on what browser you are using, you can check View > Zoom > Reset, which is the same on all browsers to reset your zoom setting. Or you can do Ctrl minus key to zoom out.
