Abstract
Web browser software implemented in a set-top box as part of a client system communicating over the Internet with one or more servers allows a user to adjust the position of a screen image displayed on a monitor through World-Wide Web pages displayed on the monitor. The web browser software provides a center adjustment screen which contains control buttons allowing the centering of the screen image on the display, and instructions on how to center the screen image using the control buttons. The user centers the active area of the screen image displayed on the display monitor using the control buttons on the center adjustment screen. The offset values corresponding to the user input of the position controls are stored in memory so that the center position of the screen image is set for the particular display device.
