			=== Controlling AVWizard via a USB Game Pad ===

			It is possible to use a USB game pad to navigate the AV Wizard and to set video modes. Read [[Control TV Orbiter Using Game Pad#Usage in AV Wizard]] for more information.

	If you hear the beeps but still don't see a picture, it's possible that the display you're using cannot handle 640x480. Press the number 6-9, or 0, as shown below, to select your resolution. Again, 15 seconds later, you should hear the beeps when the A/V Wizard is restarted. If you again need to choose a connector (other than the default VGA), press the 1-5 key (as above) and wait until you hear the beeps again. Repeat as often as needed.
