PIP (Picture-in-Picture) Operation

The PIP (picture-in-picture) feature lets you display a second, smaller
picture on top of the main picture.

Your TV is equipped with a single tuner that tunes to cable or off-air
television signals. The PIP feature on your TV requires a second video
source, like a VCR or satellite receiver to supply the second picture to the
screen. The PIP feature also requires connecting the second video source
to the TV with audio/video cables.

PIP Buttons

There are six remote buttons that control the way the PIP window
works:

PIP

  Brings up the PIP window. Press PIP again to remove the window.

When 

PIP Caption Display – Alternate with PIP

 has been selected, will

display captioning in the PIP window.

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.

Using the PIP Feature

While you may use PIP in different ways, this basic PIP scenario should
get you started. While watching the TV, follow these steps to use your
VCR to supply the picture for PIP.

1.

Press the PIP button on the remote.  The PIP window appears on the
screen.

2.

Turn on the VCR.

3.

Press the TV button, then press INPUT until you see the VCR signal
displayed in the PIP window. The PIP window should display the
channel that you have the VCR tuned to.

4.

To change the program in the PIP window, you need to change the
channel on the VCR because that is the signal source for the PIP
picture. Press the VCR button on the remote to get into VCR mode,
then change channels.

5.

Use the channel up and down buttons along with the SWAP button
and MOVE arrows to adjust the two pictures.

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.

You must change the mode between the
TV and VCR after every SWAP.
