  Console Nickname
You can give your Wii console a Console Nickname to distinguish your Wii console 
from others when you are connecting with other Wii consoles. To change the current 
nickname, select the text area, then use the Wii keyboard (see page 70) for entering 
the new Console Nickname. Confirm your change once it’s complete.
  Calendar
You can change your Wii console’s Calendar settings by selecting the Date or Time 
options.
Date Setting
Change the date by pointing at the 
 up/down arrow that corresponds to 
 the year, month, or day, then pressing 
A until you see the correct number. 
 Confirm your Date changes once 
 they’re complete.
Time Setting
Change the time by pointing at the 
up/down arrow that corresponds to 
the hours or minutes, then pressing 
A until you see the correct number. 
Confirm your Time changes once 
they’re complete.
NOTE: The Wii console uses a 24 
hour clock. For example, 1:00 pm is 
displayed as 13:00.
  Screen
You can change your Wii screen output settings by selecting the Screen Position, 
Widescreen Settings, TV Resolution, and Screen Burn-in options.
Screen Position
Change the horizontal screen position by pointing at the left/right arrows, then 
pressing A until you see the horizontal shift you want. (The range is – 8 to + 8.) 
Confirm your position change once it’s complete.
Widescreen Settings
You can change the screen format for your Wii display by selecting the Standard (4:3) 
or Widescreen (16:9) options. Confirm your selection once it’s complete.
Standard (4:3)
Select when you’re using a television that supports only standard 
4:3 screen aspect ratio.
Widescreen (16:9)
Select when you’re using a widescreen television or a television 
that supports a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio.
NOTES:
•  If set to 4:3, set the television screen size to ”standard” or “normal”, to display 
  video without altering the vertical and horizontal ratios. This term may be different 
  depending on the manufacturer of your television.
•  In addition to using Wii’s widescreen setting, you must also adjust your television’s  
  options to take advantage of its own widescreen mode(s).
•  Some television sets will not change to widescreen display even when receiving 
  wide screen input from the Wii console.
