Sony kp44px2u horizontal picture cropping

I am well impressed with the picture quality but find that any text that that appears on the screen ("Universal Pictures" logo for example) is cropped either side - not something i can adjust with the picture mode 16:9,zoom,wide etc, any thoughts. It seems that the image is too wide for the screen - like a projector image that needs horizontally reducing to fit the screen.

 

It may be something that needs correcting via the menu on your dvd player.

 

Thanks-I thought this but i get it from cable and video also.

 

is the picture cropped no matter what mode you have it set too. ie wide, 4;3 etc

Yes, for example i would lose half the u from universal and half the s from pictures. This is also noticable on adverts where a lot of text is used. I check 4:3 regularly when this occurs and this is the same. What is the facility RGB centreing and how does this work? possibility?

 

beats me!!! get an engineer. im sure they will sort it

Best call out an engineer - it could be a "blanking" problem - basically where the TV decides to cut off the picture at the sides.
In CRTs it is an adjustment in the service menu (Left Blanking and Right Blanking) - I assume it is similar for KP sets.
