Starting Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
1
Connect another video source (such as a VCR or
camcorder) to
INPUTS 1
or
INPUTS 2
on your TV (as shown
on pages 43-47).
2
Turn on TV and select the TV channel you want to watch.
3
Press the
PIP
button on the remote. A little picture will
appear on the screen. The little picture and the big picture
will be the same.
Note: The remote must be in the “TV mode” when you press the
PIP
button. To put remote in “TV mode”, press the
TV
button.
4
To get a picture from the other source (VCR, camcorder,
etc.), first turn on the other source, and then select TV
channel 90, 91, or 92 (explained at top of next column).
The picture from the other source will appear in the little
picture.
• If the other source is connected to the TV’s
INPUT 1
jacks,
select TV channel 91 to see the signal. If you have
programmed the
VCR1
(or
VCR2•LD
) button to
automatically select channel 91 as described on page 23,
press
VCR1
(or
VCR2
).
• Select channel 92 if the other source is connected to the
TV’s
INPUT 2
jacks. If you have programmed the
VCR1
(or
VCR2
) button to automatically select channel 92 as
described on page 23, press
VCR1
(or
VCR2•LD
).
• Select channel 90 if the other source is connected to the
TV’s
S-VIDEO
connector. (Remember to also connect the
regular video cable to the
VIDEO INPUT 1
jack for picture-
in-picture viewing.) The TV automatically minimizes
any annoying differences in tint between the small and
large picture by electronically coupling the
S-VIDEO
input
to the
INPUT 1
input. If you have programmed the
VCR1
(or
VCR2•LD
) button to automatically select channel 90 as
described on page 23, press
VCR1
(or
VCR2•LD
).
Changing Channels (PIP)
To change channels on the picture from the TV, press the
TV
button on the remote, and then press either the
CHANNEL
up
or down button or two number buttons.
To change channels on the picture coming from the VCR,
press the
VCR1
or
VCR2•LD
button (if you’ve programmed one of
these buttons to control the VCR as described on page 26)
and then press either the
CHAN
up or down button or two
number buttons. You can also change the VCR’s picture by
pressing the
CHANNEL
buttons on the front of the VCR.
Additional Features (PIP)
Whenever the picture-in-picture feature is activated, the small
picture can be moved, frozen, or switched with the main
picture as desired. Details are on the next page.
Caution: When using TV games, computers, and similar products with
your TV, keep the brightness and contrast functions at low settings. If a
fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen for long periods of time
at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be permanently
imprinted onto the screen. These types of imprints are not covered by
your warranty because they are the result of misuse.

After you connect another video source (like a VCR) to your
TV, you’ll be able to display two different programs on the
TV at the same time. For example, two different football
games as shown below. You can also connect a video camera
or camcorder to use as a surveillance system for a baby’s
room.
