How to Use PIP

While you can use PIP in different ways, this basic PIP scenario should get
you started. While watching TV, follow these steps to use your VCR to
supply the picture for PIP.

1.

The TV must be on. Tune to the channel you want to watch. Press
the PIP button on the remote (the PIP picture appears with the same
picture in it as the main picture).

2.

Turn on the VCR.

3.

If the picture gets fuzzy, press the TV/VCR button on the VCR.

4.

To see a different picture in the PIP window.

• Press the TV button on the remote control

• Press the WHO•INPUT button on the remote until you see the

picture that’s coming from the VCR (PIP VID1 or PIP VID2 appears
on the screen, depending on which input jack you use.)

5.

To change the picture in the PIP window, you need to change the
channel on the VCR because the VCR is the second signal source.

Press the channel buttons on the VCR or on the VCR’s remote
control.

6.

To change the channel in the main picture, press CH CTRL until the
main channel number appears highlighted (yellow). Press the
channel up or down buttons on the remote control.

Note: The channel up and down buttons won’t work correctly when the
VID
channel is highlighted (yellow).

PIP Buttons

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

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

Arrow buttons (left, right, up, down)

Move the PIP window to

different areas of the screen.

SWAP Switches, or “swaps,” the video from the PIP window
with the main picture.

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 main picture, look at the TV
screen: the yellow channel number is the one you are controlling.
Press CH CTRL to change which picture you are controlling.

A typical use of SWAP is to scan through
channels in the PIP window, and when
you find a channel you like, press SWAP
to display that channel in the main
picture, sending the current channel to
the PIP window.
