Tv-Out -> Overscan -> can I damage the TV set?

Hello,

I have a Panasonic TX-32PX10 and i am using the Tv-out of a Geforce 6600 card.
Everything went smooth untill i reinstalled my OS (Windows XP). Since that install the image displayed on the TV does not "fill" the whole screen. To solve that problem i changed the overscan settings in the videocard drivers and now everything seems ok.
My question is if there is any possibility of damaging the TV tube by adjusting the overscan...
Any advice will be much welcome!
