PIP question

[glgeek]

greetings,

when viewing PIP with 2 channels side by side, the left one is the active channel with audio.

is there a way to change the channel on the right side while keeping the left channel active?

TIA
bruce

To change channels on PIP while in VIEW Mode:

1. Hit BROWSE(Right Arrow)
2. Enter Channel #.
3. Hit PIP Button.

Search can be your friend.

Or do a PIP Swap, change channels and then swap back if you want.

Sorry, I also have a newbie question about PIP. If I'm currently using TV2 output to a second TV and I want to temporarily use PIP on my TV1, what is the easiest way to enable PIP and then go back to putting this back so my TV2 is re-enabled? Is there a 1 button solution or do I have to go through the setup menus?

SHOW ME how can you search this topic in 3 words or less???????

While search is very helpful but NOT in all cases. I wouldn't have found this trick it wasn't to this thread.

Dirtydan thanks you for sharing info:up:up

The only way I know of is to use the button behind the door on the box.
