Selecting Position/Pan or Size/Expand will cause a sub menu to appear where the actual adjustments are made. The functionality is just like the remote control for the sub-panel wherein the arrows control the same things that the remote control did. (The upward facing arrow at the lower right returns you to the main menu.) Selecting Video Settings on the main menu will call up another sub-panel where the actual adjustment can be made.

Clicking the Magnifier icon will call up a sub-panel that allows adjustment of picture size. This only works when in the PC mode. Clicking 1.5 magnifies the image 1.5 times. Selecting 2.0 results in a 2X magnification. Clicking “S” generates an undersize image and B yields a ”Big” frame.
6.0 Troubleshooting Other than checking for faulty cables, the only common problem would be choosing a wrong Output Setting. Make sure the AVT-3190HD is capable of handling the resolution and refresh rate selected and make sure the output format selected (Composite, S-Video or YCbCr) is correct for the type of cable and connector being used at the output.
