Picture not centered, help

[munscher]

I had VOOM installed last week and most everything is fine. The picture, though, is off-centered to the left and i can't figure out how to fix it. It's very annoying as the left side of the VOOM menu hangs off the screen out of view as well as any title bars or info bars that are present within a television program. Anybody know the problem?

I haven't noticed this problem with any other inputs: cable, PS2, DVD, etc... so i don't think its the TV. (Philips 55" HD widescreen)

munscher,

Welcome. There have been a few people here that had a similar problem. They ended up getting the service manual of the TV (online somewhere; just do a google search) and changing the geometry for their HDTV input. You need to be careful about going to the service menu and only change the geometry setting. I had to do this on mine not only for the VOOM input but for other inputs as well.

I have a Philips 55PW9363 and can't find any adjustments in my service menu to fix the centering. What I did was change from DVI (AV5) to RGB (AV4). Fixed the centering problem. Picture not as good though, plus I can't use "progressive" on my DVD cause it was in the AV4 slot. I only have 4 more weeks left and I can change back.

Yeah i have a progressive DVD player in AV4 and don't want to lose that. I'll have to see if i can find anything on the service manual adjustments. My uncle works for philips, i'll also call him.

I have a Sammy DLP and had to go into the service panel and had to choose option number 8 and than I choose a function called "DVD Move" and this recentered the picture for my DVI connection. I had no problems with the component.

I would make a post in AV foreum about your problem.

munscher, would you let me know if you find anything?
I've searched the for months and not alot of luck. Like I said, I can get in the service menu but see nothing on centering.
Thanks and Good Luck

062596 menu
062596 status
062597 menu
I have read "062596 info" but my remote has no info button, it came with the TV

my RCA D52W20 had the SAME issue. If you can get into your service menu you will need to adjust the Horizontal setting.

I need to change mine back since Voom is going bye-bye and Directv is getting me an HD receiver free.

RCA 52"

I did that adjustment and it also effected my cmp2 it shifted it over too, does anybody know how to fix on this model, can each inputs horizontal setting be set differently ?

 

[Neutron]

mine didn't affect CMP2. Mine only affected DVI.

 

[munscher]

I found the gemoetry settings in the service menu and fixed the problem.... i now need to reconverge everything because its outta wack due to shrinking the picture, etc...

I also have one of them there D* free HDTV STB's. Little use though with such a limited number of HD channels...

 

[Neutron]

Ahh, but I bet the box doesn't freak out nearly as much as Voom's box.....

LOL wanna bet. I have the Sammy T360. I had to do two reboots within the last week.. They also release stuff and say it is final but mean while it is still beta. Oh by the way D* had to ship me out three until I got a box that worked.

 

[rkr0923]

munscher.....so what code did you use and where did you find the gemoetry settings?
I can't find that one

I have the same tv, how did you do this? I can't find it. Plus have you tried component? Does it do the same thing on there or just dvi?

 

[Neutron]

I didn't have to mess with the components as both my DVD (CMP1) and Xbox (CMP2) show perfectly on my screen.

I believe it's this:

With the TV turned off hold the Vol+ and Chan+ buttons until the TV turns on (usually 10-15 sec).

Then find your geometry setting (be sure to have your TV on the correct input first) and then adjust the horizontal setting.

Neutron,
Was this difficult? Is there a specific line or code that you could point me to so I don't mess up something.

Also, did you only fix the horizontal aspect or did you fix the entire viewable aspect? I think if I can just find the part where I can fix the overscan I will be great.
