Safe Area and my dumb TV

My Zenith "Sentry 2" I bought about 5 years ago chops the frame pretty badly. A good part of the crawl at the bottom, the bug in the bottom right corner etc. are frequently cut off on many channels. Anyway...

Since I can't trust my TV (my only monitor right now), can I trust the default safe area setting in the preview window to work for most (all?) TVs?

Thanks,

G

Yeah, if your action safe area is set to 10% (the default) it will be fine for almost any set. Some sets are misaligned or overscan more than that, so the title safe area is a bit smaller.
