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.
USING THE PIP FEATURE
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.
2. Use the channel up and down or digit 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 digit buttons.
To go back and forth between controlling the PIP window and the main picture,
press the CH CTRL button.
