My HR20 DirecTV HD receiver and my A3 Toshiba HD DVD player now run through a STR-DG910 Sony receiver to output via 1 HDMI to my Samsung 5053.

I now experience overscan issues. HDnet's test pattern shows 6%, and I want to get that down to 3%. How can I do that? The blue picture button only lets me choose 16x9 or 4:3 and not zoom1 and zoom2 because of the HDMI, there is no correction available that I can see in user or service menu.

So I ask the experts?

Thanks

NE1? It's cutting off my legend of zelda stats on the WII Virtual Console - very important :P

I never figured out how to correct this. Is it possible? I'm noticing it more with my PS3 now ;(

Do you not experience overscan when the HD DVD player is connected directly to the display via HDMI? That is the first experiment I'd try. If there is none (or at least less) occurring then I would look for some option on the Sony receiver - you probably want to look for an option that just tells it to pass the HDMI signal to the display with no processing. I'm not familiar with the Sony receiver so I can't say what it might be doing.

hope this helps,
