i was afraid of that. i've been thru the menue a few times already. i can't find anything that adjusts the screen size or position that will correct this mess. nothing that says overscan either
TV: Panasonic TC-P50ST30
AVR: Denon AVR-2808CI

thanks rikardo!

Oh, i'll plug it directly into the tv. see how it looks.

Same problem plugged directly into the TV.
Wasn't expecting that.

fyi, the logo and progress bar on startup and shutdown are centered.
xbians gui and the command prompt are off centered and off screen by a few inches

Ok, on the TV menu > picture > aspect adjustments there is HD size 1 or 2. that changes overscan 5%. that was enough to get the top and left edges on screen. then i could see the top left overscan adj in xbian's video calabration gui. the bottom right overscan (if there is one) it underneath the box that you are suppose to adjust to perfect square, so i can't adjust bottom right overscan in the video calabration gui.
