I already posted a thread yesterday about this but I didn't mention everything I wanted to and no one seems to be helping me out with my other thread. I was hoping this new title would attract more help.
So, i've got a new 24' Wega. I've actually had it for about 6 months now but it is the newer style and model of the Wega. Just recently I got rid of my 32' Wega because of financial issues and i'm now trying to get the most out of my 24' Wega for my DVD viewing. It's not a bad little tv and i've got a decent surround setup so overall I get a nice bang for my buck at this point in my Home Theater career. I've got a few concerns and problems right now so here they are:
1) I would like to employ the 16:9 squeeze on this tv for watching DVDs. However, it's not an option in the regular tv menus on the smaller Wegas. So, i've been told it's possible in the service menus and i've got the info on how to get to them and change this now. However, can I permanantly set the 16:9 squeeze to a "macro key" on my remote? I don't even know what a "macro" is but i've seen others mention "mapping" functions to those buttons. Is this possible on my tv and remote? I would really like to find a way to view my DVD's with the 16:9 squeeze and the thought of having to access the service menus everytime I want to isn't a nice thought. Although the scan lines on a 24's tv are certainly not that bad.
2) When tweaking my tv with a THX optomizer found on my Episode 2 DVD I found that my tv is a little off center to the left. I need to move the image about an inch to the right. I know this is possible in the service menus as well. Does anyone know if this is a serious problem? Again, i've seen others mention it as a possible "serious problem".
3) Lastly, what is the story behind turning off your "red push"? I've seen people mention something about turning off certain things like that in their service menus. Is it really necessary and does it really help picture quality? Should I even bother adjusting such things on a 24' tv like mine? I'm really wanting to get the best picture possible but I don't know what's best for a non progeressive DVD player an an analog tv.
I would REALLY appreciate anyone's detailed answers to these questions. Thanks a million!
