➤Advanced Twin Tuner™ Picture-In-Picture

Two built-in, independent tuning systems allow both large-picture and small-picture viewing without the need for a second external video source (e.g., VCR). In addition to the standard RCA PIP feature of Swap, the Twin Tuner PIP System also provides:

–Continuous Move

Permits placement of the small picture anywhere on the screen.

–Commercial Skip-to-PIP This exclusive RCA feature allows the main picture to move to the PIP window simultaneously with the activation of an on-screen count- down timer. The viewer can then monitor the original program while browsing through other channels during commercial breaks.
