Factors Affecting Twin View
❑ If you use a cable box to view all channels, the same channel appears in both windows of
Twin View because the cable box unscrambles only one channel at a time.
❑ If you use a cable box, you can view the cable box output in one Twin View window and view a different source (such as a VCR or DVD player) in the second window by using the
TV/VIDEO
button. For details, see “Connecting Optional Equipment” on page 21.
❑ Sources connected to the AUX, VIDEO 5, VIDEO 6, and VIDEO 7 inputs display in the left
Twin View window, but not the right.
❑ If you are viewing a 4:3 source and a 16:9 enhanced source (such as a DVD) side by side in
Twin View, the 4:3 source appears larger.
