| 671821 | 2008-05-24 06:20:00 | I have a weird problem. When I record on "UKTV" only and play-back I get the signal info lines at the top of the screen thus: www.imagef1.net.nz I have been told that it is not a TV scan problem but could be a fault in the Recorder. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I recorded about 5 mins off UK-TV and it played back alright on my Sony Bravia KLV-40V300A LCD TV. :) |

It looks like it may be my recorder but I just understand why it is ok on everything else. It was suggested that I put the TV on "auto format" whatever that is. I wonder if it could be the way I have the display set up. |

| 671824 | 2008-05-24 06:54:00 | I have seen that kind of thing before when the image is smaller than the screen - I think it's just extra info on the image that you're not normally supposed to see CRT TV's employ an idea called 'overscan' which is basically stretching the image over the edges of the viewable size so that there is no black border, and also to compensate for image size differences between dark/bright images etc (you can do the same thing with your computer monitor but then you'd loose information that actually matters) on an LCD TV the screen and image can be perfectly aligned and there is always perfect screen regulation so overscan is not needed and so you can see everything right to the edge of the image, and in your case since you are viewing widescreen you can see even more off the edge of the image. I don't think it's a fault with anything |

I don't think it's a fault with anythingIs there anything that I can do to view the play-back without this problem. I undertstand that the TV can be adjusted for overscan but it would alter it on all the channels and that may not be desirable. At least I am getting to the bottom of the problem at long last as I have had this problem for some time and no one can tell me what it is and how to fix it. |

| 671826 | 2008-05-24 07:49:00 | Agent24. Did you read that I only get this problem on play-back when I record on UKTV. This is the only channel that gives trouble. When I view UKTV normally then it is perfect. Do you still think it is an overscan problem?. | Pato (2463) | ||

I don't think there is really much you can do - if it's only on one channel then I guess it's just the way they broadcast the signal I don't know much about it so sorry I can't help you I'm afraid.. |

I never thought it was an overscan problem, I was saying that perhaps it's something they expect to be cut off due to overscan.. but if you've got LCD etc then there would be no overscan hence you would see the dots.. |

So it is not a Recorder fault and there is nothing that can be done. It is no big deal but just a bit annoying and I thought that I would try to get some thoughts on the problem on the Forum. Thanks for your help. | Pato (2463) | ||
