The size of the displayed pattern and the position thereof are changeable to be in response to either remote or direct control manipulation so that a television viewer can see the pattern with ease. The display system is applicable to any video apparatus such as a television receiver, a video tape recorder, or a television receiver equipped with a video tape recorder.
