Does anyone know if there is a tilt adjustment for Samsung DLP's, specifically a HL-R6178W? Lately I've noticed that the bottom left of the screen cuts off some of the image. I only notice it on sports tickers that run along the bottom. Starting at the left I would be able to read 3/4 of the ticker. At the half point in the screen I can read it completely.

It is a real PITA of a mechanical adjustment which is best done with two people (an adjuster and a spotter). It also works best if the adjuster has three kid-size hands or can tighten a screw using a screw driver held in his mouth.
I have attached a pdf of the relevant page from the service manual. Use at own risk.
Edit: corrected tv model number.

I would add to make sure your TV is fully supported across the full base, levelly, also.
