PIP Problems?
•
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 button. If your cable or off-air antenna
goes into your VCR or satellite receiver, then into your TV, try
pressing the antenna or TV button on the front of the
component.
Tip: If programmed to control your VCR, the ANTENNA button
on the remote acts as a TV/VCR button.
•
Check the connections. PIP requires a second video source, like a
VCR or satellite receiver, connected to your TV with audio/video
cables. If you use a cable box, you may need extra equipment.
Contact your cable company for more information.
To see a different picture in the PIP
window, you must connect another video
source, like a VCR. This connection
requires audio/video cables.
