Using the TV’s Features

Tip
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.
Using the PIP Feature
The PIP feature is only available for analog (NTSC) channels, PIP won’t work when tuned to a
digital (ATSC) channel. Use the channel banner to determine whether a channel is digital or
analog. A digital (ATSC) channel has a dash and second number after it (e.g., 21-2); an analog
channel doesn’t (e.g., Ch 21). While you may use PIP in different ways, this basic PIP scenario
should get you started. When watching an analog channel, follow these steps.
1. Press the PIP button on the remote control. The PIP window appears on the screen and
Channel Control is automatically set to the PIP window.
2. Use the channel up and down or number buttons to change the PIP channel.
3. To change the program in the main picture window, press CH CTRL. Then use the channel up
and down or number buttons. To go back and forth between controlling the PIP window and
the main picture, press the CH CTRL button.
PIP Problems?
• If you are channel surfing and the PIP disappears, you may have tuned to a digital channel. To
view PIP and the main picture, make sure that both the main and PIP channels are analog
inputs, or signals. Continue changing the channel until you find an analog (NTSC format)
channel. The PIP window will reappear.
• If you press PIP and the PIP window is gray, you may have activated the Parental Control
feature and the program exceeds the rating limits you set. For information on removing limits,
see the section “Parental Controls.”
• You cannot view closed captioning in the PIP window.
• PIP channel skips all digital (ATSC) TV channels and tunes to analog channels.
• PIP cannot be displayed from component (Y•Pb•Pr) inputs.
