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 window and the main picture. To determine whether you are
controlling the PIP or the main picture, bring up the Channel Marker
(detailed on the following page). The yellow channel number is the one you
are controlling.

by entering digits or pressing the CH^/v. When you press the CH CTRL, the
channel control switches to the main picture. You can now change channels
in the main picture by entering digits or pressing CH^/v.
Press CH CTRL again to return the channel control to the PIP
window.
