Well without a model number, it's almost impossible to tell for certain but
most tv's these days have few if any adjusment "knobs" Variables are
programmed either thru the remote or a special hookup. If yu can program
thru the remote, I would advise against you trying it. You can lock up
your TV and never get it back.
Now it is possible that the vertical jump is your cable. See if any of the
neigbors have the same problem or if it's just certain channels. If no one
else is seeing a problem, your cable drop from the pole may be bad. And
thats bad because the cable guy will say it's the TV and the TV guy will say
it's the cable.
For the audio difference, good luck. It comes from the ststion that way and
is probably going to take an act of Congress to fix. Some sets have an
audio leveler built in like my Mits does. It works ok, but nothing is going
to keep that Billy Mays guy from blasting the paint off the walls. For our
non-US friends, Mr Mays is a very loud spokesperson for a number of
products. In addition he has a very abrasive vioce, to me atleast.
