PIP Problems?

•Make sure the remote is in the right mode. For example, once you turn on the VCR with the VCR1 button, you can’t SWAP the pictures until you put the remote in TV mode. Just press the TV button.

•No signal or bad reception? Most VCRs and satellite receivers have an antenna or TV button. If your cable or off-air antenna goes into your VCR or satellite receiver, then into your TV, try pressing the antenna or TV button on the front of the component.

Tip: If programmed to control your VCR, the ANTENNA button on the remote acts as a TV/VCR button.

•Check the connections. PIP requires a second video source, like a VCR or satellite receiver, connected to your TV with audio/video cables. If you use a cable box, you may need extra equipment.

Contact your cable company for more information.
