PIP Troubleshooting

The PIP feature on this TV only works if you connect a second video source (like a VCR or satellite receiver), to your TV with audio/video cables. If you use a cable box, you may need extra equipment. Contact your cable company and/or go to page 12 for more details about a cable box connection.

Swap won’t work? Make sure the remote is in the right mode. For example, once you turn on the VCR with the VCR1 button, you can’t SWAP the pictures until you put the remote in TV mode. Just press the TV button.

No signal or bad reception? Most VCRs and satellite receivers have an antenna or TV/VCR button. Press the antenna or TV/VCR button on the front of the component.

Note: If you programmed the Universal remote control to operate your VCR, the ANTENNA button on the remote acts as a TV/VCR button.

Every time you change channels, the same channel appears in both windows (the main picture and the PIP picture).

A.Press the CH CTRL button on the remote until the TV picture channel number is highlighted (yellow). The channel buttons on your remote control won’t work correctly for PIP when the VID channel is highlighted (yellow).

B.The only way to successfully change channels for the picture that is coming from the channel on your VCR (the VID channel), is to press the channel buttons on the VCR or on the VCR’s remote control.

The auto-tuning feature automatically tunes the TV to the correct channel for different components you have connected to your TV (like a VCR, DVD Player, etc.) When you set up auto tuning in the menu system you don’t have to remember to change your TV to channel 3, for example, when you want to watch the tape in your VCR.

How to Set Up the Auto Tuning Feature

The way you set up the auto tuning feature in the TV’s menu corresponds to the component buttons on the remote and the way you have each component connected to your TV. When you set auto tuning, you’re telling the TV what channel to tune to when you press the VCR1, VCR2, DVD, or SAT•CABLE button on the remote control.

1.Press MENU (the TV MAIN MENU appears).

2.Highlight Channel and press OK on your remote control.

3.Highlight Auto Tuning and press OK.
