PIP Problems?
• Make sure the remote is in the right mode. For example, once you
turn on the VCR with the VCR1 button, you can’t SWAP the pictures
until you put the remote in TV mode. Just press the TV button.
• No signal or bad reception? Most VCRs and satellite receivers have
an antenna or TV button. If your cable or off-air antenna goes into
your VCR or satellite receiver, then into your TV, try pressing the
antenna or TV button on the front of the component.
Tip: If programmed to control your VCR, the ANTENNA button on
the remote acts as a TV/VCR button.
• Check the connections. PIP requires a second video source, like a
VCR or satellite receiver, connected to your TV with audio/video
cables. If you use a cable box, you may need extra equipment.
Contact your cable company for more information.
You can program the TV to tune to a
specific channel when you press the VCR1,
SAT•CABLE, DVD and VCR2 buttons. This
is an easy way to tune the PIP window to
the correct video input channel.
Check out the auto tuning feature in the
Interactive Setup and Using the Menus
sections.
To see a different picture in the PIP
window, you must connect another video
source, like a VCR. This connection
requires audio/video cables.
