Not sure what you mean by crawl, but if you cannot see text or something
scrolling across the bottom of the screen, whatever source or sizing
(zoom?) you are using is overscanned. My LCD display overscans if using
component, but is pixel perfect with VGA or DVI input. So if you are
using component, maybe it would be better with HDMI or DVI, unless your
set has adjustments for overscan.

It is a "crawl" that moves along the bottom of the screen. A "scroll" is
when the words move up and down -- as if you were holding an actual scroll
in front of you and turning the winders (what's the word for them?) to make
the words move up or down.
