Adjusting overscan on Sony 32FQ70

[Blenky]

Hi

Great set but notice quite a noticeable overscan when watching DVDs. Can this be adjusted in the service menu?

Thanks

Yes, V-SIZE & H-SIZE are the adjustments you want.
Word of warning, this particular Sony chassis does not like an underscan situation which can cause a fault condition shut-down, so don't over adjust.

HowieC:

You said that if you do an "underscanning" you will cause a "fault condition shut-down". What happen if you do that mistake?? Can't you turn the TV back on then? Or is it just to turn it on again, and change the setting back??

[HowieC]

You would only have a problem if you reduced the picture so it was way too small, but if it did trip the protection circuits you would have a major problem.
The settings will probably need reducing by 2 or 3 points, just don't try and see how small the picture will go!!!
An remember MAKE A NOTE OF THE ORIGINAL SETTINGS.

Thanks - I already found this and made some adjustments. However although I can bring in the sides it does not correct the overscan of the DVD picture. I am still losing a far chunk to the left and right. I know this because my DVD players zoom feature first zooms in and then zooms out to show the whole image nsaller than the available screen - if this makes sense! On the zoom out I can see the information that is lost.

I suspect this must be an issue with the DVD player (Toshiba SD 330E) and not the TV?

Yes, it's the dvd player pixel cropping, not the tv overscanning.

I suppose I'm stuck with that then?
