Using Twin View

Twin View lets you see two pictures from two sources — from an antenna, VCR, DVD, etc. — on the screen at the same time. You hear the sound from only one of the sources at a time, but you can choose which source’s sound is selected. You can also change the relative size of each of the pictures.

Factors Affecting Twin View

If you use a cable box to view all channels, the same channel appears in both windows of Twin View because the cable box unscrambles only one channel at a time.

If you use a cable box, you can view the cable box output in one Twin View window and view a different source (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the second window by using the TV/VIDEO button. For details, see “Connecting Optional Equipment” on page 21.

Sources connected to the AUX, VIDEO 5, VIDEO 6, and VIDEO 7 inputs display in the left Twin View window, but not the right.

If you are viewing a 4:3 source and a 16:9 enhanced source (such as a DVD) side by side in Twin View, the 4:3 source appears larger.

Twin View does not display channels that are blocked by parental settings (see page 72).
