SHORT PICTURE MY SONY KV24FS100 HAS A SHORT PICTURE, WHICH MEANS PICTURE IS CUT ONE INCH FROM THE TOP AND ONE INCH FROM THE BOTTOM. I TRIED TO SEE IF THEY HAVE A VARIABLE RESISTOR NEAR THE VERTICAL IC BUT NO LUCK. PLEASE HEALP. THANKS

First check if your zoom is on..if it is switch back to normal setting. If picture is still cropped with no zoom then try go to the menu seen string and check for aspec ratio..try different sttings..

On the remote control there is a zoom button. Your picture is zoomed in x2. You need to set it to normal.

Solved....cable problem.

Change the video output to wide screen

Your tv maybe in 16:9 format with means widescreen. Your remote should have a button to change formats.

There is a bad capacitor in the vertical circuit. Look for caps in the same circuit and either check or change them. If hte vertical IC is listed as IC301 for example, the caps in the same circuit will be marked C3xx. These are circuit designations that are printed on the board. Look for caps with values of either 47ufd or 100ufd. These are the most common ones to fail.

Keep us posted,
Dan

you might have bad caps or the vertical output integrated circuit, try to locate the vertical ic and check the surrounding areas for bad capacitors.


good luck

I had the same problem with my westinghouse 47 inch HDTV. It turned out that someone had inadvertently hit the "format" key on my satellite (Direct TV) TV remote controller. If you have satellite TV you might want to check this out. I set it back to the previous setting and I get the entire screen. Hope this helps someone.

Is the picture overall too small by 1 in. on top and bottom? Or is it cut off by the lines?

If it's too small, look for an adjustment labeled Vertical Height. This may only be accessible internally, it's normally a service adjustment, not a user adjustment.

Your problem is a vertical deflection issue, either an adjustment or the vertical circuit requires repair by a technician. In the latter case, electrolytic capacitors are a likely cause.
