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. You will only be able to use the PIP window and main picture with analog channels and inputs; PIP doesn’t support digital signals. The main and PIP channels must be from different tuners or inputs; for example, main is from INPUT 1 and PIP is from ANTENNA INPUT. If you are only using tuners for PIP and main, you must have the main picture from CABLE INPUT and the PIP picture from ANTENNA INPUT, or vice-versa.
