The Pip (Picture-In-Picture) Feature - RCA PTK195 User Manual

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. If the PIP window is displayed, and
you change the PIP input (by pressing WHOolNPUT) to COMP2, PIP is
not displayed. If you press the PIP button while viewing COMP2, the
PIP window is not available. (N/A) appears in the channel marker.
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 Setup and Connections
section, for more information.
I Tip
A quick way to tune the PIP window to
the correct video input channel, is to set
up auto tuning in the menu system. Go
to page 16 for instructions.
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.

* Press the WHO*INPUT button on the remote until you see the
picture that's coming from the VCR (PIP VID1 orPIP VID2
appears on the screen, depending on which input jack you use.)
To change the picture in the PIP window, you need to change the
channel on the VCR because the VCR is the second signal source.
Press the channel buttons on the VCR or on the VCR's remote
control.
To change the channel in the main picture, press CH CTRL until
the main channel number appears highlighted (yellow). Press the
channel up or clown buttons on the remote control.
Note: The channel up and down buttons won't work correctly when
the VID channel is highlighted (yellow).
How to Use Swap
A typical way to use the SWAP button is to scan through the channels
in the PIP window, and when you find a channel you want to watch,
press SWAP on the remote to send that channel to the main picture.
