2-Tuner Picture-In-Picture Overview
PIP = Picture-In-Picture
Think of PIP as a mini TV screen superimposed onto your main TV screen
Press PIP on the remote to place the PIP inset on the screen, press PIP again to remove it
YOUR PICTURE-IN-PICTURE FEATURE
The Picture-In-Picture (PIP) function allows you to put a smaller
picture, called the “inset,” on the bigger screen, or the “main”
picture.
Normally you would need some other piece of equipment, like a
VCR, to act as a tuner to receive and display a second channel at
the same time. Your TV eliminates that need by giving you two
tuners on one TV, on the Antenna source. PIP is always available,
no matter what equipment you have.
Don’t want to miss any of the big game, but hate commercials?
Just put the game in the PIP inset, and Surf your favorite chan-
nels on the main picture screen.
WORKING WITH PIP
Just like your Entertainment Machine’s main screen, PIP will need
a source to take its image from. Set the main screen source to
Antenna, then set the PIP source to Antenna, as an example.
Then if you use the TV’s tuner to choose your channels, you can
enjoy 2-tuner PIP; channel scan capability for both the main
screen and the PIP inset.
PIP can be used in any picture mode. Put Antenna in the PIP
inset while you watch a video tape, from a VCR connected to
Video 1. Have a DVD disk playing on the Main screen, while you
watch a videotape in the PIP inset.
SOME TYPICAL PIP/MAIN SCREEN VIEWING SETUPS
1. You want to watch a videotape, but keep scanning for another
movie or game. Set the PIP source to Video 1, or 2 and you can
watch the VCR and TV, swapping between the two.
2. You want to watch your favorite live program on Antenna on
the main screen and when a commercial break appears, swap to
the PIP inset; which has a videotape in the VCR ready to play, or
Surf your favorite channels using the Antenna source for the PIP
inset.
If no equipment is connected to a source you select for the
PIP inset, or if it is turned off, the PIP inset will be black.
