How to Troubleshoot PIP on a HDTV
"PIP," short for "Picture in Picture," allows you to watch two television programs at once: one in the main viewing window on your TV, and one in a tiny box in one of the corners of your TV screen. Picture in picture works differently on high definition televisions (or "HDTVs") than it did on old cathode-ray tube television sets, so troubleshooting problems with PIP on an HDTV will have to be performed in a certain way.

Make sure your HDTV actually supports PIP. Just because PIP was a standard feature for decades doesn't mean that it will be available on every HDTV. PIP on an HDTV requires your television (or the attached cable box) to have two separate TV tuners. If your television set does not have two tuners, your HDTV will not have PIP.

If you've verified your HDTV has PIP, you can press the "PIP Audio" button on your television's remote control to switch the audio back and forth between the large and small images. If you currently are listening to the audio from one image source but want the audio from a different image source, this is how you would correct that. While the audio from an image source is selected, you can use the regular volume controls on your HDTV's remote to increase or decrease the audio.

Change the channel you're watching on the PIP by using the dedicated "PIP Channel Up" and "PIP Channel Down" buttons on your remote control. Do not try to change the channel on the PIP window using the regular "Channel Up" and "Channel Down" buttons because this will change the channel on the program in the main viewing window. You need to use these dedicated buttons to change the PIP channel.
