USING THE PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP) FEATURE
MAKING PIP CONNECTIONS
P
icture-In-Picture (PIP) is the showing of two pictures on the
TV screen at the same time—one main screen picture and
one small picture, or PIP. The picture for the PIP window can
come from an antenna or cable TV signal, or from AV1, AV2, or
AV3. NOTE: CVI cannot be displayed in the PIP window, and
AV4 and AV5 are not available for use with PIP.
The following connections explained below will allow you to use
a VCR as a second tuner specifically for PIP. In other words,
you can use the VCR to select channels for viewing in the PIP
window. This is just one example of how you can use PIP. Note,
too, that you can swap the main and PIP pictures on screen. See
page 7 in this publication for information on viewing PIP pic-
tures and using the PIP buttons.
To make the connections shown in this example, you will need:
• a two-way signal splitter
• two coaxial cables (75Ω)
• one cable for a video connection (standard RCA connector)
• two cables for audio connections (standard RCA connectors).
NOTE: The two-way signal splitter and cables are not supplied with
your TV. You should be able to buy them at most stores that sell elec-
tronics. Or you can call our Customer Care Center
at 1-800-531-0039.
1
Connect an antenna or cable TV signal to a two-way
signal splitter.
2
Use coaxial cables to connect from the two-way signal
splitter to the ANTENNA IN 75Ω jack on the rear of the
TV and to the ANTENNA IN jack on the rear of the VCR.
3
Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on the VCR to the
INPUT-AV1 VIDEO jack on the rear of the TV.
4
Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks, L(eft)/R(ight), on the
rear of the VCR to the INPUT-AV 1 AUDIO jacks,
L(eft)/R(ight,) on the rear of the TV.
You can use a variety of
connections to provide
input sources for viewing
in PIP. For more infor-
mation, see the section
on “Connecting
Accessory Devices to
Your TV,” beginning on
page 6 in the Directions
for Use manual.

HELPFUL HINT
If your VCR is mono
(nonstereo), you will
connect only one audio
cable. You must ensure
that the TV is set to
MONO for the AV input
source to which you’ve
connected the VCR
(AV1, AV2, or AV3
[side panel]). Other-
wise, you will receive
sound from only one of
the TV’s speakers. See
page 36 in the Directions
for Use manual that
came with the TV.
