Hi guys,
I have a new guy in Texas that need's a little help with his 34" Anaconda. He just bought an HDFury2 so he could go 1080i and it seems the Anaconda has known bowing issues at 1080i over the VGA. There is a fix posted for it by entering the service menu but he's not comftorable doing that.
He's also getting an offset picture at 480i over S-video when the HDFury2 is conected. So maybe you could have a look at that issue for him too.
Is there anyone in Houston that has TV service menu experiance? See the next post for instructions on what needs to be done.
This would be between you and him. You make the $$ arangements. Case of beer, lunch, money etc...
PM me if your in Houston or near by and can handle this.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Here is what needs to be done in the service menu to straiten out the picture.

OK, have you noticed that in the Panorama and 4:3 picture modes that the bottom corners of the image bow in? I didn't notice this until about 2 months after getting my Aconda. Don't know if this was some drift that showed up after the burn-in period or what. It really bothered me when I got a ATSC tuner and a non-full screen letterbox image showed the bowing in quite prominently.
If you are noticing this, here's the fix. Remember, entering the Service Menu and changing stuff is not without it's risks. Read the disclaimer in the Service Menu section of this site before proceeding, you do so at your own risk.
1) First, enter the Service Menu as described above
2) Select the "Geometry" sub menu.
3) Now is a really good time to scroll down and write down all the factory settings for each parameter.
4) Put on a light colored signal or better yet, an Avia Test DVD Test Screen and set the TV to Panorama mode.
5) Go down to the setting labeled "EW Lower". Adjust this setting to a lower value (you may have to go into negative numbers) to get the Lower Corners of the display to widen out and to straighten out. Changes to "EW" Upper will also change the width of the upper corners of the screen in a similar manner.
6) Did you write down the original setting? If not, don't worry, you can just hit the "E" button on the remote to leave without changing anything.
7) Once you have a setting you like, hit the "OK" key on the remote to write this new setting into the non volatile memory and you are good to go |
