BASIC TV OPERATION

PIP (PICTURE-IN-PICTURE) OPERATION

The PIP (picture-in-picture) feature lets you display a second, smaller analog (NTSC format) picture on top of the main analog picture.

Your TV is equipped with a dual NTSC tuner that tunes to cable or off-air television signals. You will only be able to use the PIP window and main picture with analog channels.

PIP BUTTONS

There are certain remote buttons that control the way the PIP window works:

PIP Brings up the PIP window. Press PIP again to remove the window.

Arrows Let you move the PIP window to different areas of the screen.

SWAP Switches, or “swaps,” the video from the PIP window with the main picture.

CH CTRL (Channel Control) Lets you switch channel control between the PIP window and the main picture. To determine whether you are controlling the PIP or the main picture, look at the channel banner as you change channels. The triangular indicator is beside the channel number for the picture you’re controlling.
