HOW TO USE THE PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP) FEATURE
Picture-in-Picture (PIP) is the
showing of two pictures on the
TV screen at the same time. (One
main screen picture and one small
inset picture - or PIP). For your
ease and convenience this PTV
has two separate inputs
(ANTenna A and ANTenna B) for
your home’s Antenna and/or
Cable TV system signal.
The ANT A input is primarily for
the TV’s main screen picture.
The ANT B input is provided as a
second, dedicated source option
for the PTV’s PIP “window” and
its feature operations. The signal
connected to the ANT B input can
be either a Split Signal Input (as
described in the section on this
page), or another type of external
signal source (such as a satellite
dish system, additional home
antenna, video accessory, etc.).
See the following steps on how
channels connected to the
ANT(enna) B Input can be shown
and used within the PIP window:
Connect your Antenna or
Cable TV signal to the single 75
ohm INPUT plug on a two-way
Signal Splitter (not supplied).
Connect two lengths of RF
Coaxial Cable (F-type connectors
on both ends) to the two OUTPUT
plugs on the two-way Signal
Splitter.
Connect the twin OUTPUT
plugs on the Signal Splitter to the
ANT A and ANT B Inputs on the
rear of the PTV.
