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.
The message PIP Not Viewable in the channel banner lets you know that PIP is
not available on this channel and you should tune to another channel.
