PIP Buttons: General Explanation
The buttons on the remote control that you’ll use for the PIP feature are
explained below:
PIP Press the PIP button to make the PIP window appear on the screen. Press
PIP again to remove the window.
Note: If you selected Alternate with PIP button in the PIP Closed-Caption Display
menu, press the PIP button when the PIP window is on the screen to see closed-
captioning in the PIP window.
Arrow buttons (left, right, up, and down) Move the PIP window to
different areas of the screen.
CH CTRL (channel control) Lets you switch channel control between the PIP
window and the main picture. To determine whether the remote control is the
PIP picture or the 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’re controlling.
SWAP Switches, or “swaps,” where the two pictures appear on the TV screen.
The smaller PIP picture swaps to the main screen and the main picture goes to
the little PIP window.
Skip to PIP: Channel Surfing in the Main Picture
You can surf through the channels during commercial breaks using the SKIP
and CH (channel) buttons.
1. Press SKIP to set the commercial skip timer on the channel you are
watching (PIP window appears).
2. Press the CH+ or CH- button to surf through the channels in the main
picture. When the SKIP feature times out, the main picture tunes to the
original channel automatically and the PIP window disappears.

5. To see a different picture in the PIP window:

• Press the INPUT button on the remote until you see the picture that’s

channel number appears highlighted (yellow). Press the channel up or
down button on the remote control.
