VCR, DVD player or Satellite Receiver to the AUX input on the TV, it will
not show in the small window picture.

the window picture as in
the main picture

❏

Both may be set to the same channel. Try changing channels in either the
main picture or the window picture.

❏

You may using a cable box for all your channels. If you must have a cable
box to unscramble all channels, then you are limited to only one picture
(because that is all that the cable box allows - one channel at a time). But if
you need the cable box only part time (to unscramble premium channels),
then you can use PIP when you are not using the cable box (when you use
the CATV cable without going through the box).

I cannot get anything but
TV in my window picture

❏

Be sure the video label has not been set to skip your video inputs. (See the
Setup menu on page 49.)
