How to center a screen?

I have a 57" Toshiba rear projection TV. The problem is that when a TV program doesn't show full wide screen, the black vertical bars that are on each side of the screen are not even on each side. On the right side of the screen, the vertical bar is about 5 inches but on the left it is about 7 inches. I have also noticed that TV shows that fit the full screen cut off some of the picture on the right side. For example, sports games with the score in the right upper corner get cut off. Is there a way to center the screen to correct this problem?

Horizontal centering is performed in the service menu. Beware! You can mess up a lot of stuff in this menu.

It looks like a dynamic focus problem. But I think you'd have to call a shop. It would require a part order, soldering, and likely more test and troubleshooting. It could be guessed that it's a dynamic focus transformer or similar, from looking in the schematic.

Screen turn green tv is 57 rear projection

Good Day,
It appears that you may have a green drive issue. Try adjusting the Sreen Control it is located in the front of TV.
1) Remove Speaker Grill (it just pulls off) start at one end, 2) Remove cover (5-6 screws), 3) Adjust control. The control is located on lower right side towards bottom. A small black device with 2 rolls of controls, adjust the center control on bottom row counter clock wise, until you get a black and white picture.(adjust with color control to min).
If this does not work you light bulb (CRT) is bad about a $750.00 repair.

Good Luck, Big Irish.
