Twin View
Problem
Possible Remedies
I cannot get Twin View to work
s
If you are using a cable box to unscramble all channels (as shown on page 26), you 
cannot use the Twin View feature. This is because the cable box can unscramble 
only one channel at a time. But if you need the cable box to unscramble only some 
(usually premium) channels, you can use Twin View for unscrambled channels if 
you connect both a cable and cable box, as shown on page 25.
s
You can use Twin View to view a signal from a different source that is connected to 
the TV's A/V jacks (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the second window by 
pressing the 
TV/VIDEO
 button while in Twin View.
s
Digital sources, as well as any sources connected to the VIDEO 4, VIDEO 5, 
VIDEO 6 inputs, display in the left window, but not in the right windows. 
There is no Twin View window, 
or it is just static
s
Be sure the Twin View window is set to a video input or channel that has a signal 
airing.
s
You might be tuned to a video input with nothing connected to it. Try cycling 
through the video inputs by pressing the 
TV/VIDEO
 button.
Twin View cannot display 
anything but TV channels 
s
Try cycling through the video inputs by pressing the 
TV/VIDEO
 button. Check 
that the 
Label Video Inputs
 option is not set to 
Skip
. (See the Setup Menu on 
page 105.)
Twin View displays the same 
program in both windows
s
Both Twin View windows might be set to the same channel. Try changing channels 
in either window.
