PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP)
Your HITACHI Projection TV incorporates Dual Tuner technology designed for improved viewing
enjoyment. This Dual Tuner feature allows you to view antenna inputs on both the main picture and sub-
picture simultaneously, with separate tuning control for each. The Dual Tuner can operate with only one
input (ANT A only) or two inputs (ANT A and ANT B).
ANT A input can be viewed as both the main picture and the sub-picture simultaneously. ANT B can only
be viewed as a main picture. To select between main picture and PIP sub-picture tuning, press the PIP CH
button on the remote. The highlighted channel display will move with every press of the PIP CH button.
When the top channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the main picture. When the lower
channel display is highlighted, channel tuning is for the PIP sub-picture. This method of picture tuning is
the same for one antenna input (ANT A only) and two antenna inputs (ANT A and ANT B).
The Picture-in-Picture feature is convenient when you want to watch more than one program at the same
time. You can watch a TV program while viewing other programs from the ANT A source or any of the
video inputs.
Use above connection to view VCR program as a sub-picture while viewing another program as main
picture (ANT A, ANT B, V:2, or V:3 input). You may also view the VCR program as a main picture while
viewing another program as a sub-picture (ANT A, V:2 or V:3 input).
(1) PIP button
Press the PIP button and a sub-picture will appear in one of the three different modes (SINGLE or SURF),
depending on the last selection of the PIP mode. To change the PIP mode, use the PIP MODE button to
cycle through the three different modes.
SINGLE MODE PIP
Press the PIP button and a sub-picture appears in one corner of the screen. Press the PIP button again to
remove the sub-picture from the screen. Use the PIP CH button to select between main and sub-picture
tuning control (indicated by highlighted channel display.) Press the INPUT button when sub-picture
channel tuning is controlled, to change between VIDEO: 1, VIDEO: 2, VIDEO: 3 and ANT A antenna
source. (ANT B source cannot be viewed as a sub-picture.)
NOTES:
1. If you tine the main channel to a Y-PB-PR input, the TV set will automatically turn the PIP sub-picture
OFF.
2. When a Y-PB-PR input is selected as PIP, it will appear as a blank sub-picture.
3. When main channel is tuned to a Y-PB-PR input you will not be able to access the PIP functions.
4. When ANT B is selected as a main channel, the SWAP feature is disable.
5. Only sound from the main picture can be heard.
6. If PARENTAL CONTROL MOVIE/TV RATINGS setting is ON, only PIP SINGLE mode will be
allowed.
