PIP (Picture-in-Picture) Operation
The PIP (picture-in-picture) feature lets you display a second, smaller analog (NTSC
format) picture on top of the main analog picture.
Your TV is equipped with a dual NTSC tuner that tunes to cable or off-air television
signals. You will only be able to use the PIP window and main picture with analog
channels.
PIP Buttons
There are certain remote buttons that control the way the PIP window works:
PIP
Brings up the PIP window. Press PIP again to remove the window.
Arrows
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, look at the channel banner as you change channels. The triangular
indicator is beside the channel number for the picture you’re controlling.
