It seems like HPOS has only one setting for all wide modes. HSIZ has two settings, one for wide zoom, one for everything else (zoom, full/norm, 1080i).

The ones under OSD is used for on screen display.

Thanks for the info guys. I've just about eliminated all the underscan and overscan. There's a little part on the top right corner that seems a little off, though. It's like a very thin triangle of black.

If you did change HPOS, HSIZ, etc, you need to re-register Flash Focus. Otherwise convergence will be off if you use FF to do convergence.

What do you mean re-register?

I just took off my glare screen, but ummm... I feel stupid for asking but I just wanted to make sure...

I was supposed to take off the outer most screen out of the three, right? The one that is clear and highly reflective? The other two are not as clear and the outer screen is now "corrugated."

Yes, that is correct.

The other 2 layers are the Lenticular ane Fresnal, they must be used.

Does anyone know of a code that will allow a Sony Televison Remote to operate the Toshiba DST 3100 Direct TV, HD receiver?

The Sony codes in their manuals show 806 / 807, these will not control the DST3100.


Thanks

Do a search in this thread, you will see how to re-register FF correctly.

I heard you can call Sony to get the correct code.

Earlier in this thread, there was a link for tweaks to Sony RP TV's. Are these compatible with a KP51WS510?

Just a suggestion, if yours is the 23MB pdf file, you might want to send out the first 175 pages only, since after that it is just user manual in different languages and most people can't receive attachment larger than 10 MB.

Hi,

I am a newbie here...
I am in the market for this SONY KP-51WS510. I like to setup
my HP Media Center PC to it. I know there is a DVI input into
this TV and even with SVideo in. I got these question for the owner...

Has anyone try to hookup a PC? DVI or SVIDEO?

How is the picture quality (icons) on this TV? Can I really surf the web?

Can I use the PIP to surf the web and watching TV? or use the split screen feature?

Any issue with the burn-in especially with the PC setup?

Should I spend the extra money for the extended warranty?

Is the basic cable good for this set? or do need to go HD?

Should I go with Projection vs DLP vs LCD for this situation?

Thanks in advance.

I use the DVI connection for my HD cable box. Reg cable looks good, but HD is where this unit shines. Don't know about hooking up a PC, but I suspect that burn in would be an issue on this or any other RPTV, especially if the TV screen would look just like the computer monitor with Internet Explorer running. The taskbar at the bottom of the screen would be burnt in fairly quickly, as it never changes.
post #197 of 819
Has anyone tried the i.link yet? I have the 51ws550, and tried it the other night with my Sony Digital 8 camcorder and I'm a little disappointed. I was expecting to be able to see a true digital to digital connection full screen. However, I have an annoying split screen with the digital tuner being on one side and the i.link on the other with no way to get rid of either.

Unless you have Gmail, then IT'S ON!!! I've e-mailed for mine!

I have to provide ftp to the sender to receive it.
Have you tried the service menu convergence? Do you follow the service menu to do it in Full mode, then copy it to other modes and re-register, or you do convergence for each mode then re-register?

Everyone,

over in the zenith 318 dvd player thread I posted directions that disables the vertical squeeze when in 1080i and 720p and it was suggested that I post here as well. Now this works for my tube (32hs500)... so let me know if it's cool here as well. In the service menu, the item is JUMP and the default is 1. Flip it to 0. It's in 2170D-3 and the description is "reference pulse jump switch". As with any service menu changes... USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. The PQ is decreases and I never use it, but others use it for video games etc so it fills the whole screen. Cheers,

Hi, I am trying to decide between 510 and 550. Looks like more folks are leaning towards 550. But I was told that 510 has built in HDTV receiver, but for 550 you need to buy a separate one. Is that true? With about $200 - $300 dollar difference, is it worth to buy 550?

Please help in deciding.

Thanks.

You've got it exactly backwards (as a quick trip to Sony's site to do some basic research would've told you) as it's the 510s that DO NOT have the built-in OTA HDTV tuner and the 550s that DO have the HDTV tuner.

If you plan on getting Voom or the HD versions of DirectTV or Dish network or a HD cable service, get the 510 (though it has a a different - some say inferior - screen design with more glare) because the HD tuner will be redundant. If you live in an area with a decent selection of local stations providing HD and/or you're more about DVD viewing, go for the 550.

Hope this helps.

(Now if someone would be so kind as to send me that service manual, please? Thank you.)

post #205 of 819
I forgot to mention one thing about the vertical squeeze trick. You need to be in 1080i mode for this to work as well. Default in 480p is 0. The bad thing about it is that it vertically stretches widescreen material and you'd have to flip it back for that.

Can someone explain the proper way to perform Service Menu Convergence.

I am familiar with the service menu etc, not sure what is needed to perform the convergence however.

Thanks
post #207 of 819
There is a link posted in this thread toward the beginning that addresses lots of tweaks for these TV's. How to do a service menu convergence is explained in that document.

post #209 of 819
Someone forwarded me the manual offered above (why didn't that guy send it?), but it's for the KP-WS510 and I've got a KDP-51WS550. Are the adjustments comparable?

I need to tweak the green decoder and bring down the overscan, but when adjusting the HSIZ and VSIZ settings, it starts bowing across the top and going way out of convergence. How do I set this up w/o making a wreck of things?
post #210 of 819
I haven't figured out how to adjust the overscan very much without getting the same effect. I'll be glad to hear if anyone has a systematic approach.
