➤Advanced Twin Tuner™
Picture-In-Picture
Two built-in, independent tuning
systems allow both large-picture
and small-picture viewing without
the need for a second external
video source (e.g., VCR). In addition
to the standard RCA PIP feature of
Swap, the Twin Tuner PIP System
also provides:
–Continuous Move
Permits placement of the small
picture anywhere on the screen.
–Commercial Skip-to-PIP
This exclusive RCA feature allows
the main picture to move to the
PIP window simultaneously with
the activation of an on-screen
countdown timer. The viewer
can then monitor the original pro-
gram while browsing through
other channels during commercial
breaks.
•
Countdown timer returns TV
to original channel, so other
channels can be browsed during
program breaks.
• Auto Tune
After initial setup, just pressing one
component button on the TV’s

both the TV and the component
