Features and Controls
PIP (Picture-in-Picture) Operation
The PIP (picture-in-picture) feature lets you display a second, smaller
picture on top of the main picture.
PIP Buttons
There are four remote buttons that control the way the PIP window
works:
PIP
Brings up the PIP window. Press PIP again to remove the window.
If you have selected the option labelled Alternate with PIP while in the
PIP Caption Display menu
, then you will be able to toggle closed
captioning between the main screen and the PIP window by pressing
the PIP button.
MOVE buttons
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, bring up the Channel Marker
(detailed on the following page). The yellow channel number is the
one you are controlling.
For instance, press PIP to bring up the PIP window. You can change
channels by entering digits or pressing the CH^/v. When you press the
CH CTRL, the channel control switches to the main picture. You can
now change channels in the main picture by entering digits or pressing
CH^/v.
Press CH CTRL again to return the channel control to the PIP
window.
Two Tips for Using PIP Buttons
Skip to PIP: Channel Surfing in the Main Picture
You can surf through the channels during commercial breaks using the
SKIP and CH (channel) buttons.
1.
Press SKIP to set the commercial skip timer and bring up the PIP
window.
2.
Press the CH ^ or CH v buttons to surf through the channels in the
main picture. When the SKIP feature times out, the main picture
will tune to the original channel automatically.
Channel Surfing in the PIP Window
You can use the PIP window to surf through channels as well.
1.
Press PIP to bring up the PIP window.
2.
Press the CH^ or CHv buttons. The TV begins displaying each
channel in the PIP window. If you see a channel that interests you,
press SWAP.
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, sending the current channel to
the PIP window.
