PIP OPERATION
AND CONNECTIONS
PIP (PICTURE-IN-PICTURE)
Your Zenith TV must be connected
to a video component
such as a VCR in order to view a different picture in the
PIP inset. This video component must be connected to one
of the TV's video/audio
input jacks (VIDEO 1 IN or
VIDEO 2 IN) by using Audio/Video
cables.
The most common use of PIP is to view two different chan-
nels; one from the TV tuner and the other from the VCR
tuner. For example, you can view two sporting events or
two movies at the same time.
Other uses for PIP would inclu,:le monitoring what you are
recording on your VCR while watching another channel on
the TV, or monitoring a baby's room by connecting a video
camera or c_amcorder to one of the video/audio
input jacks.
CONNECTION
ALTERNATIVES
The input jacks of your TV provide for 5 different audio/
video input sources.
(Some TV models have two additional
inputs for a total of 7 possible sources.) Antenna or Direct
Cable Connection and Cable Decoder Connection illustrate
two of the most common connection
alternatives.
