➤Advanced Twin Tuner™ Picture-In-Picture

Two built-in, independent tuning systems allow both large-picture and small-picture viewing without the need for a second external video source (e.g., VCR). In addition to the standard RCA PIP feature of Swap, the Twin Tuner PIP System also provides:

–Continuous Move

Permits placement of the small picture anywhere on the screen.

–Commercial Skip-to-PIP This exclusive RCA feature allows the main picture to move to the PIP window simultaneously with the activation of an on-screen countdown timer. The viewer can then monitor the original pro- gram while browsing through other channels during commercial breaks.

•:30

Countdown timer returns TV to original channel, so other channels can be browsed during program breaks.

•Auto Tune

After initial setup, just pressing one component button on the TV’s remote (either VCR, RCA Satellite System, cable, or DVD) turns on both the TV and the component and also automatically tunes the TV to the correct viewing channel. Just one press!

•Picture Memory for Video Inputs

Custom picture settings are activated whenever direct video inputs are selected. Allows tailored picture performance with each video source.

•Picture Reset
