I was wondering if anyone knew what are all of the adjustment knobs inside the 7800 are for? I see three that I can get to, one with a hex-head, and the other two with a flat head, and I see two, on the audio/video output box.

Can someone help?

Thanks,
Tom

The two flat ones in the middle of the board are for color adjustment. One for 2600 mode and one for 7800 mode. The tall red one toward the left is for adjusting the sound frequency. There is only one adjustment on the RF modulator though there are two holes. It's used to adjust the channel tuning, kind of like the old "fine tuning" knob on old TVs.

Hope that helps.
