I really only have two questions regarding this unit.

I just bought this TV yesterday and it's my first ever DLP TV.. (I had a XBR970 before, which is a really excellent TV.. just too heavy and I'm going to be doing a bit of moving around in a few months.. plus it didn't have a VGA input and I was getting back into my Dreamcast again >_<...)

But, anyway, two questions, like I said...

One, is there ANY way to adjust overscan on this unit.. at all?

And, two, has anyone here turned on and off this unit real fast and heard some weird noises coming from it? Like a weird tone or noise or something.. I don't know how to explain it!

For question one, I ask, because when I play my XBox360 on the component input.. I noticed while playing Dead or Alive 4, that the bottom area is a little cut off.. example (pic taken before I adjusted picture settings.. can't really see how good the image is by camera shots usually anyway..):

Question two I ask because I was a little disturbed by the tone it made. I was just trying out the Service Menu code so I had powered off my machine which had been on for a bit and quickly put in the code and turned it back on within a matter of seconds.. I heard this weird tone twice while the lights on the front blinked after I turned the power on, then it went back to the standby state, and then powered itself on and the picture came up as normal.

I was able to reproduce this by turning it off and on again rapidly..

If I wait a bit after I power it off and then power it on, it doesn't do this.. (Was wondering if that was abnormal?)

Welp, any help would be appreciated, thanks!!!

Well, the overscan on the 360 through component isn't really THAT bad, I guess...

I was more concerned about it with my PC.. but I've connected my PC through the VGA input and not component, as I had it before, and overscan is pretty much gone now.

I'd have loved to connected my PC through HDMI, and did so right after I tried component but before I did VGA, but I couldn't eliminate the overscan...

The noise thing doesn't really matter as I've learned from reading a bit you're not supposed to rapidly turn off the DLP TVs anyway. If you turn them off, you should probably wait approximately half an hour before turning them back on, and when you turn them on you should make sure you're going to watch them for a decent amount of time to begin with.

Thanks to a tip in another post by someone about another Samsung DLP on this forum which mentioned setting the input name of HDMI3 to PC to eliminate overscan, I now have no overscan on this model using HDMI1 renamed to PC. (Tried HDMI2 at first, but it didn't work. HDMI1 renamed to PC is a winner.)

Now I have 0% overscan PC through HDMI1. :-)

Oh, I guess I do have ONE more question. (I like how I'm the only participant in my topic, but maybe I'll get lucky..)

The Melody setting on my model is "Low". I only ever remember hearing the melody once when I turned on the TV the first time, lol, I've never heard the melody any other times I've turned it on... should I be concerned?

I've changed it to medium now and going to see if it makes a difference the next time I turn on the TV..

Not that I care for the melody or anything, but if it's supposed to do it, then why isn't it?

Oh wait.. I just realized, it's probably because I have Internal Mute on isn't it? (Since I output the sound to a stereo system..)

I bet that's the answer to my problem right there.. NEVERMIND, I PROBABLY JUST ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION.

Yes, i notice the melody nearly everytime i turn the tv on, this is normal. Also I hear a type of screeching sound when i turn the set off and turn it back on again. This too is normal. I understand it is the fan restarting inside the unit.
