    Slight TV problems...

    Newbie to the forums here, with a problem...
    I got a new TV/video combi last xmas, which works fine and has a great picture quality. Only problem is, when i run most stuff GC stuff in 60hz, or any import PS1 games, usually the top of the picture seems slightly offscreen. Most games are fine, but it gets annoying in games like Thunderforce V where I can't see my score/lives/some of the weapons.

    The GB Player's "Z: options" thingie in the corner's not really visible either, and the sides of the border seem smaller than on my older TV.
    I'm running everything though red, yellow and white cables, like those that come with the GC. My PS1's running through a NTSC-PAL convertor box. Sound's hooked up to a stereo.

    There's no picture adjust, apart from what I heard about those hidden menus that let you adjust picture, but i'm not sure how to get on them, and dont want to risk knackering my TV in the process. The TV's a Toshiba VTV1415, if that helps.

    Hey there,

    It shouldn't matter what type of connection you are using, but I think going into the service menu is the only way to fix this fault. If you can find the code, it's really not that big a deal so long as you write down what all the values were before so you can put it back if it screws up.

      Well, that sure was fun. I just booted up my PS1 today, and there was no picture. Hooked my GC up, no picture. Seems the TV's screwed, and I cant seem to get a picture in any of the AV modes. I took the consoles downstairs and tried em on the other TV, and they were fine. I haven't messed it up with service codes, don't worry, I didn't even try those yet. I think it's still under warranty, so i'll see what I can do.

      EDIT: nm, sorted. Seems i blew the front sockets on my TV - could probably be replaced/fixed. That TV has a SCART plug anyway, so it's still usable. Stealing my parent's TV anyway, and they're having mine, screen positioning is ok on my parent's one, so I dont have to worry.
