Im dont think I have the right forum so mods please move where necessary.

We had a power surge tonight and we were watching a movie. No problem, this happens alot. But when I went back to turn everything on, Ive noticed several ODD problems.

1. The TV set seems more zoomed in. The black bars on a 2:35 image are alot smaller. So I did a zoom out to see the full image to compare and saw the regular anamorphic view is cutting off about 2 inches from the top and bottem of the screen. When I turned it to the TV cable stations, its still zoomed in and because the the volume (or color, contrast, brightness) on screen display is positioned low, it is now cut in half!

2. This is the weirdest. When I turned on my Oppo the Component screen and Oppo load screen have SEVERLEY messed up Convergence. Theres the regular Oppo word, than one in blue, than one in red! Everything on screen is messed up and the image is BOWED or fish eyed looking. However when the DVD loads, it looks great (just zoomed in) theres no image problems.

Heres my equipment:

TV: Panasonic - PT47WX49
DVD player: Oppo Digital DV-970HD

I think I still have this TV under service warranty but I have never heard or seen anythng like this happen. I need some serious help here.

For a start try disconnecting all interconnects and power cables for a day while you are at work and hook it all up again when you come home and see if the problem is still there.
