KV-36HS510 issues.

[SHydroxide]

Hey everyone. I've just gotten myself a slightly used Sony KV-36HS510, and for the most part I'm very happy with it. I've got, however, some minor issues.

When watching stuff that's in 4:3 and subbed, sometimes the subs (especially fansubs) get slightly cut off at the bottom of the screen or at the edges.

As well, when playing XBox360 games, which are in 1080i and 16:9, the edges get cut off at the sides as well.

I see no way to fix this in the TV menus, so is there anything I can do about it?

I'm seeing the same problem with my PS3 at 1080i (sides cropped). Unfortunately, I've not been able to find any solution to this. Hopefully someone out there has, as I've not had any luck with Sony customer service.

You need to get into the service menu to fix your over-scan issue. Do a search on this site and you should be able to find out how to access the hidden codes. Good luck and be careful!

anyone have better info about this issue? I've searched the site and only found a huge topic full of stuff and its impossible to sort out what would specifically be needed for this specific issue with this specific television.

I'm having the same issues and found out how to enter the service menu which I didn't bookmark and can't find again, these topics are a mess...

Go back to the thread titled Sony service codes. Service menu work is by nature complicated, and you'll have to spend some time reading up on it to figure it out. There are no shortcuts.

I have a KV-36HS510 recently purchased the tv picture is awesome I love the set. The only problem well not a problem but i was wondering if it is a to disable or turn 16:9 Enhancement off?? When watching dvds i have no problems but when i am watching a hd broadcast that is already wide screen it shrinks it even more. I had a 4:3 ratio hd tv before and i could change set up on cable box to make hd signal full screen but the 16:9 Enhancement always kicks in the only options i see is auto or on not off.

I FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO IT!!! turn the tv off hit display, 5, volume + then power. when the service codes come up hit the number one button until you see "jump" in the top right hand corner hit the 3 button to turn off the hit muting then enter turn tv off and it is gone. I saw a post in a forum where some people where fixing some lines and vertical size issues once i read that and saw how to get access codes i played around and found the correct option now when i watch a hd dvd or blu ray, or dvd upscaled to 1080i the only bars are from the movie source man i am sooooooooo happy i have been told a million times that this was not possible and it is! when i am watching a reg hd signal from tv box i disable becuase the 16:9 mode is fine when watching hd on tv/cable box the problem was when you are watching a movie that is already 16:9 it was like it was doing a double 16:9 shrink man i am soooooooo happy this tv has the best resolution and clarity i have ever seen.
