25" display trying to be a 32" display?

[SS]

We had a couple of power outages in quick succession today, and now the
display on our 25" Philips/Magnavox TR2502 TV seems to have developed an
inferiority complex; it now wants to be the display of a 32" TV. The
display now appears to be "magnified" by about 30% and shifted slighly
downward. The effect looks something like what you might get with a DVD
player that permitted "zooming" in on a portion of the image -- all the
information on the peripheries of the broadcast is cut off now, and the
remaining visible area is clearly magnified. Otherwise, the tuner, sound,
etc. seem to be functioning properly.

Any idea what might be causing this? (Incidentally, the TV does not have a
zoom feature!)

Thank you

Probably will need to have a tech enter the service mode and adjust the
settings or may even be corrupted or damaged Eprom and MPU. May be best to
get the tele to a NAP Service Centre.

This is usually attributed to high voltage regulation problems. You
would have to call a tech who works on Philips sets, to determine the
exact fault. The fault can also be in the main power supply.

It is not good practice to start doing adjustments until all the
defective components are located and replaced.
