Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
After you have connected another video source (such as
a VCR or camcorder) to INPUTS 1 or INPUTS 2 on
your TV (as shown on pages 34, 35, or 38), you are
ready to display picture-in-picture.
Starting Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
1. Turn on TV and select the TV channel you want to
watch.
2. Press the TV button to put the remote in “TV mode”.
(This step can be skipped if the remote is already in
the “TV mode”.)
3. Press the PIP button. A little picture will appear on
the screen. The little picture and the big picture will
be the same.
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
below). 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 button to automatically select
channel 91 as described on page 22, 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 22, press VCR1 or VCR2.
• Select channel 90 if the other source is connected to the TV’s
S-VIDEO connector. When using an S-VHS input for the
source of the small picture, you must connect the video output
of the source to VIDEO INPUT 1 of the set. When the picture
from the S-VHS source is displayed in the small inset picture,
you will see a non S-VHS picture; and when the picture from
the S-VHS source is displayed in the large picture, it will
display an S-VHS picture. The TV automatically minimizes
any annoying differences in tint between the small and large
picture by electronically coupling the S-VIDEO input to the
VIDEO 1 input. If you have programmed the VCR1 or VCR2
button to automatically select channel 90 as described on
page 22, press VCR1 or VCR2.

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 VCR1 or VCR2 (if you’ve programmed the VCR1 or
VCR2 button to control the VCR as described on page 37)
and then press either the CHANNEL 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.
The small picture can be moved, enlarged, reduced, frozen,
or switched with the main picture as desired. Details are
on the next page.

Caution: 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.
