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; you must have the main picture from CABLE INPUT and the PIP picture from ANTENNA INPUT, or vice-versa.

PIP Buttons

There are certain remote buttons that control the way the PIP window works:

PIP Brings up the PIP window. Press PIP again to remove the window.

Arrows Let you move the PIP window to different areas of the screen.

SWAP Switches the video from the PIP window to the main picture.

FREEZE Freezes entire screen, including the main picture and PIP window, if PIP is displayed.

CH CTRL (Channel Control) Lets you switch channel control between the PIP window and the main picture. To determine whether you are controlling the PIP or the main picture, look at the channel banner as you change channels or press INFO button. The triangular indicator ( ) beside the channel number lets you know which picture you’re controlling with channel up/down, number buttons, etc.

Tip

If you want to go directly to an input or channel in PIP (or main), set up auto tuning and press the component button (AUX orDVD).

Using the PIP Feature

The PIP feature is only available for analog (NTSC) channels; PIP won’t work when tuned to a digital (ATSC) channel. Use the channel banner to determine whether a channel is digital or analog. A digital (ATSC) channel has a dash and second number after it (e.g., 21-2); an analog channel doesn’t (e.g., Ch 21). While you may use PIP in different ways, this basic PIP scenario should get you started. When watching an analog channel, follow these steps.

1.Press the PIP button on the remote control. The PIP window appears on the screen and Channel Control is automatically set to the PIP window.
