You must use audio/video cables to connect
your VCR to your TV in order for PIP to work.
This example shows the connection for VID1
(the VCR is connected to the INPUT 1
connection). If you want to use VID2, connect
the VCR to the INPUT 2 connection on the
back of your TV.
PIP Troubleshooting
•
The PIP feature on this TV only works if you connect a second video
source (like a VCR or satellite receiver), to your TV with audio/video
cables. If you use a cable box, you may need extra equipment.
•
Swap won’t work? Make sure the remote is in the right mode. For
example, once you turn on the VCR with the VCR1 button, you can’t
SWAP the pictures until you put the remote in TV mode. Just press
the TV button.
•
No signal or bad reception? Most VCRs and satellite receivers have
an antenna or TV/VCR button. Press the antenna or TV/VCR button
on the front of the component.
Note:
If you programmed the Universal remote control to operate
your VCR, the ANTENNA button on the remote acts as a TV/VCR
button.
•
Every time you change channels, the same channel appears in both
windows (the main picture and the PIP picture).
A. Press the CH CTRL button on the remote until the TV picture channel
number is highlighted. The channel buttons on your remote control
won’t work correctly for PIP when the
VID
channel is highlighted.
B.
The only way to successfully change channels for the picture, that is
coming from the channel on your VCR (the
VID
channel), is to press
the channel buttons on the VCR or on the VCR’s remote control.
If you use a cable box, you must connect a splitter in order for PIP
(picture-in-picture) to work. You must also check some settings in your
TV’s menu system in order for all of the GUIDE Plus+ system features to
work. Please follow the instructions below. If you have trouble, contact
your cable company.
