PIP Operations

This unit includes a two-tuner Picture-in-Picture (PIP) feature. This allows you to watch two  live broadcasts simultaneously,
one in the full size “main” picture and one in a smaller “window” picture. The main window program can come from a TV 
broadcast or other external source, while the PIP window always displays TV program.
