USING PIP (BASIC CONNECTIONS)

Picture-In-Picture (PIP) is the show- ing of two pictures on the TV screen

at the same time (one main screen pic- ture and one small picture, or PIP). This TV has two separate inputs (ANT[enna] “A” and PIP ANT[enna] “B”) for your home’s Antenna and/or Cable TV system signals. ANT “A” is referred to on screen as “TUNER-A,” and PIP ANT “B” is referred to as “TUNER-B.”

The ANT “A” input is primarily for the TV’ s main screen picture. The PIP ANT “B” input is provided as a second dedicated source option for the TV’s PIP “window” and its feature opera- tions. The signal connected to the PIP ANT “B” input can be either a split sig- nal input (as described and illustrated on this page) or a separate external sig- nal source (such as an additional home antenna, satellite dish system, or video accessory device).

See the following steps on how channels connected to the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input can be shown and used within the PIP window.

BEGIN

Use an RF coaxial cable to con- nect a cable or satellite signal to the single 75-ohm input plug on a two- way signal splitter (not supplied).

Connect two lengths of RF coax- ial cable to the two output plugs on the two-way signal splitter.

Connect one of the RF coaxial cables coming from the two-way signal splitter to the ANT(enna)

“A” input on the back of the set. Then connect the other RF coaxial cable coming from the two-way sig- nal splitter to the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input on the back of the TV.

NOTE: The purpose of the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input (referred to as “TUNER-B” on your TV screen) is to provide an easily connected, dedicated signal source for use with PIP. A split signal (as illustrated on this page) is not the only option in connecting to the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input. An additional outdoor or indoor antenna or a video game player, for example, could also be connected and displayed on the TV’s PIP screen win- dow through the use of the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input.
