Using the PIP Feature
While you may 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. Press the PIP button on the remote. The PIP window appears
on the screen. Notice the channel marker at the bottom of
the screen displays the current PIP channel, not the main
picture channel.
2. Turn on the VCR and tune the PIP channel to receive the VCR
signal (Video1 or Video2).
Tip: You can turn the VCR on and tune to the VCR channel
with the press of a button. For example, if you program the
Autotune feature, you can tune to the Video1 input channel
when you press the VCR1 button on the remote. In PIP mode,
pressing the VCR1 button tunes the PIP window to the
Video1 input channel.
3. Use the channel up and down buttons and the other PIP
buttons, MOVE, SWAP and CH CTRL to adjust the two
pictures.
PIP Problems?
• Make sure the remote is in the right mode. For example,
once you turn on the VCR with the VCR1 button, you can't
SWAP the pictures until you put the remote in TV mode. Just
press the TV button.
• No signal or bad reception? Most VCRs and satellite receivers
have an antenna or TV button. If your cable or off-air
antenna goes into your VCR or satellite receiver, then into
your TV, try pressing the antenna or TV button on the front
of the component.
Tip: If programmed to control your VCR, the ANTENNA
button on the remote acts as a TV/VCR button.
• Check the connections. PIP requires a second video source,
like a VCR or satellite receiver, connected to your TV with
audio/video cables. If you use a cable box, you may need
extra equipment. Contact your cable company for more
information.

To see a different picture in the PIP
window, you must connect another
video source, like a VCR. This
connection also requires audio/video
cables.
You can program the TV to tune to a
specific channel when you press the
VCR1, SAT•CABLE, and DVD•VCR2
buttons. This is an easy way to tune
the PIP window to the correct video
input channel.
Check out the Autotuning feature in
the Interactive Setup and Quick
reference sections.
