4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE Please study the drawings below and become familiar with the inputs, outputs and control locations on the AVT-3190HD. AVT-3190HD Front Panel The Power Button switches between “Standby” and “On”. When the unit is turned on, the LED marked “On” above and slightly to the right of the power switch will illuminate. The Square window area to the right of the power switch is the location of the Infrared sensor used by the remote to control the unit.
5.0 Operating the AVT-3190HD Operating the AVT-3190HD is intuitive and easily learned. The operation at the unit itself is accomplished via buttons mounted within the case. Although easily learned, controlling the unit via these buttons is a rather limited way to operate the unit because all functions are not available from these buttons.
OUTPUT: Toggles between Composite, S-Video and Component Outputs POWER: Switches between “On” and “Standby” OVERSCAN: Toggles Between over scanned and under scanned normal image. FREEZE: Causes the image being displayed to freeze. BUTTONS 1-9: When the Zoom button is pressed, the picture is divided into nine zones. Pressing one of the numbered buttons selects the portion of the image (the zone) you want to enlarge. ZOOM: Press the Zoom button to enlarge a section of the picture.
The Four Buttons shown below––Zoom, Aspect, Pos/Pan and Size/Exp–– control picture manipulations and the arrowed buttons work in conjunction with these four buttons to do the actual manipulations. The Default Button (in the middle of the arrow button matrix) returns the following parameters to factory presets: Zoom, Position, Size and Picture Adjustments. Descriptions of the Zoom, Aspect, Pos/Pan and Size/Exp functions are shown below.
Along the right side and bottom of the remote control there are several control buttons. The functions are: CONTRAST, BRIGHTNESS, COLOR & SHARP: These buttons, allow adjustments to be made to the labeled signal parameters. Pressing a button causes the arrow buttons to become active and those buttons are used to make the actual adjustments. V-RESET: Restores Factory default settings to the Contrast, Brightness, Color and Sharpness parameters.
5.1 RS-232 Operation Software is included to allow control of the AVT-3190HD via a computer. The operation under RS-232 control is explained below. 5.1.1 Installation of the Software (Windows 98/ME/2000/XP) • Place CD in appropriate drive and execute the setup.exe function from the CD. (The computer will probably update some files causing the need to reboot after the initial setup has finished. If this happens, reboot and run setup a second time.

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. The two intertwined arrows call up an image refresh routine and the “X” closes this sub-panel. There are two other sub-panels available: Clicking Option causes the following sub-panel to appear.
Finally, the last sub-panel displays software and firmware information. Click the About icon to call up this display: Again, the upward facing arrow at the lower right returns you to the main menu. 5.3 Pinouts for RS-232 Cable The connections for the RS-232 connectors are as follows: AVT-3190 Connector Pinout 1, NC 2, TxD 3, RxD 4, NC 5, GND 6, NC 7, NC 8, NC 9, NC PC Serial Connector Pinout 1, NC 2, RxD 3, TxD 4, NC 5, GND 6, NC 7, NC 8, NC 9, NC 6.
