Condition Explanation/Resolution
I cannot get Twin View to work ❏ If you are using a cable box to unscramble all channels (as shown on page 16),
you cannot use the Twin View feature. This is because the cable box can
unscramble only one channel at a time.
❏ You can use Twin View to view a signal from a different source that is connected
to the TV’s A/V jacks (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the second window by
pressing TV/VIDEO while in Twin View.
❏ Sources connected to the VIDEO 3, VIDEO 5, VIDEO 6, VIDEO 7, and VIDEO
8 inputs, as well as digital sources display only in the left Twin View window.
❏ Twin View is not available when using VIDEO 9 (PC) IN.
There is no Twin View window,
or it is just static
❏ Be sure the Twin View window is set to a video input or channel that has a signal
airing.
❏ You might be tuned to a video input with nothing connected to it. Try cycling
through the video inputs by pressing TV/VIDEO.
Twin View cannot display
anything but TV channels
❏ Try cycling through the video inputs by pressing TV/VIDEO. Check that the
Label Video Inputs option is not set to Skip. (See the Setup setting on page 60.)
Twin View displays the same
program in both windows

channels in either window.
