Question MY PIP ON MY TV APPEARS NOT TO BE WORKING I GET A BLACK SCREEN BUT YOU CAN CHANGE CHANNELS ON PIP BUT NO STILL NO TV IN PIP SCREEN.
BUT EVEN WITH BLANK BLACK SCREEN I CAN SWAP PIP AND THAT CHANNEL WILL COME UP WITH THE SWAP BUT THE PIP IS STILL BLACK AND NO SOUND ON PIP.
I CAN WATCH AND SWAP MY DVD AND VCR THRU PIP BUT NO REGULAR TV CAN BE SEEN THRU PIP ON MY TV.
I USE GUIDE PLUS WITH THIS TV ALSO.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THANKS
RANDY
I JUST RESET MY TV I WILL SEE IF THIS HAS SOME AFFECT.
Answer Randy,
I really depends on your TV's capabilities as well as what inputs you are using. The most common type of PIP is mixing two inputs so if you are using a cable box or digital box to get your FTA reception it all gets dealt with as one source and another source is your VCR and another is the DVD in which case you should receive FTA but not use two different FTA channels for PIP.
Have a read thru your manual in the light of this and also check your type of wiring with the TV set.
