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.

Your TV is equipped with a dual NTSC tuner that tunes to cable or off-air
television signals. You will only be able to use the PIP window and main
picture with analog channels.

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, 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 the main picture, look at the channel banner as
you change channels. The triangular indicator is beside the channel
number for the picture you’re controlling.

While you may use PIP in different ways, this basic PIP scenario should

channel.
