Overscan for KV36XBR450 HD |

My KV36XBR450 seems to have the HD overscan set pretty aggressively ("ABC HD" logo is cut off after the "H")
I did set the overscan using the DVE dvd but that did not seem to address the HD components.
So my question is: Do I just go into the calibration menu and attempt to do this using HD source material from my cable provider?
Any tips on doing so would be appreciated. Without having some reference material I am concerned about distorting other aspects of the picture.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to Agoraquest! I believe others have posted the necessary settings before, but, yes, its a good idea to have the service manual to determine which adjustments are required. Before you do that, are you sure that you have the right video input selected and do not have zoom on?

"Before you do that, are you sure that you have the right video input selected and do not have zoom on?"
My cable box component output is connected to Video5 which I think is appropriate (either Video5 or 6 I think is acceptable for 1080Icomponent input).
Based on your questions about the video input I did take a second look at my cable box's (Motorola) output settings.
I had it set to the following:
TV Type: 16:9
YPbPr: 1080I
4:3 Overide: 480P
Closed Caption: Disabled.
What I notice is that when I change the Component output from 1080I to either 480P or 480I I get less of the edge cutoff. With the 480 settings the image is clipped (cropped?) just at the edge of the "D" in the "ABC HD" logo.
The only setting I found for zoom was for twin view picture mode.
So I'll take a look another look at the overscan.
Thanks.

OK! Grat! You definitely have the correct settings except that I would recommend setting 4:3 Override at 480i instead of 480p. Of course, this has no bearing on the HD picture.

There is still a problem: The calibration settings in modified in the service menu so not seem to impact the horizontal position or size for 1080i. I tried MDHP and MDHS in MID1 but chaging these settings only changed the picture when in 480p and 480i mode. When in 1080i mode, changing these settings had no impact on the position or sizing of the picture.
So what calibration settings do I modify in the service menu do I change to modify the horizontal position and size when in 1080i mode?
You also mentioned zoom mode, where do I check for that?
Thanks.

Ideally, I would use the master settings in 2170D-1 and D-2 to configure 1080i. You can then use the MID2 category to adjust 480i in the various modes (4:3 and others, and also between full screen, Twin left/right, freeze, favorites, etc...) For 480p and up, use MID3. Again, many MID3 settings also have memories for different modes.

I assumed the 2170 was a typo and the 2150D-1 and D-2 did it! Thanks.
BTW, will there ever be a niche market with direct view tv's, similar to that of turntables? Or is the overhead too great?
Thanks again.

I have an XBR910, so I guess they renamed a few items. The menus are almost the same.
CRT's will pretty much be limited to bargain-basement stuff, usually with really crappy pictures. There may be some CRT's still used for broadcast production, but the flat panel formats are getting so close it may not be long before that is gone.
Interesting thread on the sci.electronics.repair newsgroup. Somebody bought a 27" CRT Insignia TV from Best Buy. It does NOT support MTS stereo on analog RF!! I guess that's one way to cut a few pennies. Broadcast analog may be going away in a little over a year, but cable analog will be around for a few more.
