PAUSE button
If you wish to freeze the sub-picture, press the PAUSE button. This is convenient when trying to write down the address for a
mail order company, recording statistics for a sporting event, etc.  To return the picture to motion, press the EXIT button. Press
the PAUSE button repeatedly to toggle between FREEZE modes (Main Freeze, SPLIT and STROBE).

MAIN FREEZE

Press the PAUSE button to freeze one frame of the picture you are currently viewing and the frozen frame will show in the Main
Picture.  Press the EXIT button to return to normal viewing.  This feature is useful for freezing a picture frame with addresses.

NOTES: 1. The default FREEZE mode is the MAIN freeze followed by the SPLIT freeze and then the STROBE freeze.  The last 

Freeze mode you selected before you pressed the EXIT button will be the one that comes up after pressing the 
PAUSE button again.

2. Each freeze frame is delayed about 0.1 (1/10) second.
3. Strobe Freeze is not available in 480p/720p/1080i inputs.

STROBE FREEZE
Press the PAUSE button to freeze three frames of the picture you are currently viewing (only the 3 sub-pictures will freeze). Press
the EXIT button to return to normal viewing. This feature is useful for viewing a moving picture that has many details, for example,
a close play in a sporting event or a golf swing.
