The PIP (Picture-In-Picture) Feature

The PIP (Picture-In-Picture) feature lets you display a second, smaller picture on top of the main picture.

Important: Your TV has a single tuner that tunes to cable or off-air television channels. In order for the second picture (the PIP picture) to appear on the screen, you must connect another component (like a satellite receiver or VCR) to the TV. You need to use audio/video cables to connect the component to the TV. Go to the connections on pages 8 or 9 for more information.
