Using Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
Picture-in-Picture (PIP) is a convenient way to view video from multiple video sources at the same
time. Refer to the following chart to determine which combinations of video sources can be used
as a PIP display.
Only 480i component (Y Pb Pr) video can be used with VGA as a PIP. With this combination, the Swap feature is not available. To switch
to full-screen component video when 480i content is used as a PIP, touch the Input Select button in the Shortcut menu.
If a 480p source is input to the Y Pb Pr jacks and Y Pb Pr is a PIP display within a VGA main display, the PIP image will be distorted.
Change the output of your external Y Pb Pr device to 480i if PIP is required with VGA to eliminate the PIP distortion. For more
information, see your Y Pb Pr device’s user guide.
** For some video resolutions, refresh rates, and video scaling modes, PIP may not be allowed. If you receive a message that PIP is not
available, try the following:
■
Adjust the refresh rate in Windows to 60 Hz. See Windows online Help for more information.
■
Adjust the video scaling mode to Wide on your monitor.
■
Change the resolution of the Windows desktop to match your monitor’s full resolution of 1680 × 1050. For more information see
“Changing color depth and screen resolution” on page 10.

Resolution reminder—If the computer display resolution (VGA and DVI) is not set to 1680 × 1050, displays
a reminder that you should change your computer’s settings to use the optimum 1680 × 1050 resolution.
If you prefer using your monitor at a resolution less than 1680× 1050, use this option to turn off the
Resolution Reminder. For information on changing your computer’s display resolution, see “Changing
Windows screen settings” on page 10.
