Using the TV’s Features
Chapter 3 57
Tip
A typical use of SWAP is to scan through channels in the PIP window, and
when you find a channel you like, press SWAP to display that channel in
the main picture.
Using the PIP Feature
The PIP feature is only available for analog (NTSC) channels. PIP won’t work when tuned to a digital (ATSC) channel. Use
the channel banner to determine whether a channel is digital or analog. A digital (ATSC) channel has a dash and second
number after it (e.g., 21-1); an analog channel doesn’t (e.g., Ch 21). While you may use PIP in different ways, this basic PIP
scenario should get you started. When watching an analog channel, follow these steps.
1. Press the PIP button on the remote control. The PIP window appears on the screen and Channel Control is
automatically set to the PIP window.
2. Use the channel up and down or number buttons to change the PIP channel.
3. To change the program in the main picture window, press CH CTRL. Then use the channel up and down or number
buttons. To go back and forth between controlling the PIP window and the main picture, press the CH CTRL button.
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.
