Basic TV Operation
Chapter 3 31
The message “PIP Not Viewable or Exceeds Rating” in the
channel banner lets you know that PIP is not available on
this channel and you should tune to another channel.
PIP Problems?
• If you are channel surfing and the PIP disappears, you may have tuned to a digital
channel. To view PIP and the main picture, make sure that both the main and PIP
channels are analog inputs, or signals. Continue changing the channel until you find an
analog (NTSC format) channel. The PIP window will reappear.
• If you press PIP and the PIP box is grayed, you may have movie or TV rating limits set.
These limits may block your access to the PIP channel. For information on removing
limits, see the section “Using the Profiles.”
• If the PIP window disappears when closed captioning is displayed or you press the
MUTE button on the remote control, you have a conflict in your settings. You cannot
view PIP when parental controls have blocked the current program or closed captioning
is displayed. In order to view PIP, either unlock parental controls or change the closed
captioning setting.
• You cannot view closed captioning in the PIP window.
