Picture-in-Picture (PIP) • Basic Connections
P
icture-In-Picture (PIP) is the show-
ing of two pictures on the TV screen
at the same time (one main screen pic-
ture and one small picture, or PIP). This
TV has two separate inputs (ANT[enna]
“A” and PIP ANT[enna] “B”) for your
home’s Antenna and/or Cable TV system
signals. ANT “A” is referred to on
screen as “TUNER-A,” and PIP ANT
“B” is referred to as “TUNER-B.”
The ANT “A” input is primarily for the
TV’ s main screen picture. The PIP
ANT “B” input is provided as a second
dedicated source option for the TV’s
PIP “window” and its feature opera-
tions. The signal connected to the PIP
ANT “B” input can be either a split sig-
nal input (as described and illustrated
on this page) or a separate external sig-
nal source (such as an additional home
antenna, satellite dish system, or video
accessory device).
See the following steps on how channels
connected to the PIP ANT(enna) “B”
input can be shown and used within the
PIP window.
Use an RF coaxial cable to con-
nect a cable or satellite signal to the
single 75-ohm input plug on a two-
way signal splitter (not supplied).
Connect two lengths of RF coax-
ial cable to the two output plugs on
the two-way signal splitter.
Connect one of the RF coaxial
cables coming from the two-way
signal splitter to the ANT(enna)
“A” input on the back of the set.
Then connect the other RF coaxial
cable coming from the two-way sig-
nal splitter to the PIP ANT(enna) “B”
input on the back of the TV.

input on the back of
the TV.
NOTE: The purpose of the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input (referred to as “TUNER-B” on
your TV screen) is to provide an easily connected, dedicated signal source for use with
PIP. A split signal (as illustrated on this page) is not the only option in connecting to the
PIP ANT(enna) “B” input. An additional
outdoor or indoor antenna or a video game
player, for example, could also be connected and displayed on the TV’s PIP screen win-
dow through the use of the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input.
