Pip (Picture-In-Picture) 35 - Zenith B27A34Z Operating Manual

PIP Overview
PIP = Picture-In-Picture
Think of PIP as a mini TV screen superimposed onto your main TV screen
YOUR PICTURE-IN-PICTURE FEATURE
he Picture-In-Picture (PIP) function allows you to put a
T
smaller picture, called the "PIP inset," on the bigger
screen, or the "main" picture.
You will need some other piece of equipment, like a VCR,
to act as a 2nd tuner to receive and display a second
channel at the same time. 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 channels using the main
picture.
WORKING WITH PIP
Just like your Entertainment Machine's
will need a source to take its image from. Set the main
screen source to Antenna/Cable, then set the PIP source
to Video 1, as an example. Choose your PIP and Main
Screen sources using the Source menu.
PIP can be used in any picture mode. Put Antenna/Cable
in the inset while you watch a tape. Attached to Video 1,
have a DVD disc going in the PIP inset while you watch a
tape on the main screen.
SOME OTHER WAYS YOU COULD YOU USE PIP
1. You want to watch a video tape, 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/Cable on the main picture and when a com-
mercial break appears, swap to the PIP inset which has
a videotape in the VCR ready to play, or choose a dif-
ferent channel on Antenna/Cable. Or, hook up a cam-
corder and monitor that image - - for example, an
infant in another room, or a child asleep in a nursery.
