Quick clarification if it isn't apparant - this is a front projection CRT.

Bob R.:

I'm a Sony direct View 16:9 CRT fan due to picture quality.....
own a Sony CRT 34HS510 for 1 year... Pretty nice....

I can not visualize what Sony set you own..... due to

possible inaccuracies in your Sony sets description ??

I'm betting it's a Sony Direct View 36" CRT 4:3....

Model KV (no tuner) -36HS420..... (No Pic & Pic).....

BTW SONY does have 34" 16X9 available currently. Also, depending on just how
far the raster is shifted from centre it may be within manufacturer specs.
My thought is there may be an adjustment within the technical setup
accessible only via the appropriate codes. Changing any of these parameters
may have unwanted effects in all display modes rather than specifically the
I-1080 you are asking about. The set being probably within manufacturer
warranty period you may want to have a SONY Authorized Servicer have a go at
it.

I would look again at the menus.

If I remember correctly, my 30" 16:9 Sony has adjustments for centering the
image. It is in the setup menu under "Video" I believe. I could be wrong
as it has been quite some time since I have been in those menus.

Just a suggestion, if it is only a couple of weeks old, still under
manufacturer warranty, why not have a SONY Authorized Technician have a go
at fixing it? Why, because when the customer does go into the service only
menu and does mess up the settings that tends to void the warranty, per SONY
Corporation. Any Way, you can always have a go at it, may be a great
learning experience, IMHO
