I have a laser projector that uses Chinese made AT20 scanners and amps. The amps are in need of tuning, but I can't seem to find any schematic or diagram of the trim pots on the boards.

Does anyone happen to know what each of the pots on these boards correspond to?

Thanks.

Just try the pots.
If you have never tuned drivers before, you will not get good results even if you have a pot labeling diagram.
If you have experience tuning drivers, you can deduce the function of the pot by just turning it a little and looking at the output.

The pots are likely gain, hfd, lfd, scale/size, offset/linearity and feedback led current.
Some drivers also have feedback gain. As there are 6 pots, its likely the first 6 I mentioned.
Size is easy to spot -> changes picture size
Gain is also easy -> changes sharpness, less gain, more overshoot.
hfd and lfd change the overshoot, HFD is high frequency, LFD is low frequency damping. Also easy to spot on corners.
Offset/linearity will just change the picture center a little.
Feedback stuff is a little harder. These pots most like do not change much if anything on the output, so leave them alone.
For tuning, you just need LFD/HFD/Gain.
