Talking about service-level settings, not the general consumer settings in the main menu..
I've done it many times, any time I notice the it's drifting near a corner.
We just switched to Dish HD service, and I had to set my 1080i settings (my 65" Diamond rear projection has different settings for 480/1080, and until now my satellite and DVD have been composite at 480i). As they were pretty far out of whack, I decided to do a factory reset.
BAD ANSWER!
The picture was quite good before I reset to factory defaults, I basically just needed to resize the overall screen as I was losing the edges - which I did without issue - but then needed to adjust the convergence around the edges. I've been thru the course and fine adjustments many times without issue, but its always been close to begin with, so if I went in the wrong direction, it was easy to back up.
The red is so far out of alignment, I don't know where to begin - attached a picture of what's happening, it's basically stretching vertically in a non-linear manner from left to right. It's almost like a keystone effect but non-linear.
The Red VLIN setting will narrow down the right side but as it come close, it starts to really compress the bottom left corner, and puts a pretty hefty slant to the left at the top-left. I keep thinking I'll get it close and then use the fine settings to correct it, but I am getting some pretty goofy lines here which has me wondering if I'm chasing the wrong settings.
Note - there's nothing wrong with the circuitry itself. As stated, I started with a pretty good picture, I just needed to correct the overall scale and then fine tune it. I just signed up and posted wondering if there is a basic how-to on what to adjust for various problems posted somewhere (I did search, and the only hits I kept getting were related to circuity repair, not actual steps and tips).
Any links/pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
