PIP Overview

YOUR PICTURE-IN-PICTURE FEATURE
The Picture-In-Picture (PIP) function allows you to put a smaller
picture, called the “inset,” on the bigger screen, or the “main”
picture. Don’t want to miss any of the big game, but hate
commercials? Just put the game in the inset, and surf with the
main picture.
2-TUNER PIP FEATURE
Normally, you would need some other piece of equipment, like a
VCR, to act as a tuner to receive and display a second channel at
the same time. Your Entertainment Machine eliminates that need
by giving you two tuners in one TV. PIP is always available, no
matter what equipment you have.
WORKING WITH PIP
This is where your MBR Trakball remote is put to the most use. All
of the functions PIP has are accessible through the menus that
pop up on-screen when you use your Trakball. There’s more about
that on the following page.
Just like your Entertainment Machine’s main screen, PIP will need
a source to take its image from. When you set the main screen
source to Antenna/Cable 1 or 2, the PIP source will automatically
set to that as well. You can adjust and/or request a different
source under the Source menu (see page 22).
PIP SNAPSHOT
This feature enables you to freeze the main image into the PIP frame
or view another image in the PIP frame with the touch of a button.
POSSIBLE REASONS FOR ADJUSTING PIP SOURCE
1. You use a cable box to receive premium channels, and have it
“looped out” on the back of the TV. Set the PIP source to the
cable box source, and the Inset will display the premium
channels, which can then be swapped with the main picture.
2. You want to watch a video tape, but keep scanning for another
movie or game. Set the PIP source to VIDEO 1, 2, or 3 and you
can watch the VCR and TV, swapping between the two.

Main Picture
You cannot have the Main Source from Ant/Cable 1 and
the PIP source in Ant/Cable 2 or vice versa. PIP must
be the same Ant/Cable source as the main or one of the
video sources.
