The PIP (Picture-In-Picture) Feature
The PIP (Picture-In-Picture) feature lets you display a second, smaller picture on top of the
main picture.
Important:
Your TV has a single tuner that tunes to cable or off-air television channels. In
order for the second picture (the PIP picture) to appear on the screen, you must connect
another component (like a satellite receiver or VCR) to the TV. You need to use audio/video
cables to connect the component to the TV. Go to the connections on pages 8 or 9 for
more information.
How To Use PIP
While you can 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.
The TV must be on. Tune to the channel you want to watch.
2.
Press the PIP button on the remote (the PIP picture appears with the same
picture in it as the main picture).
