    delete all the existing stations and automatically search 
    for new ones. Do also use the first installation if you 
    want to change to receiving MHEG-5 stations (attend 
    restrictions for DVB software update, see page 38).

    Picture in Picture (PIP)
    The concurrent display of two different images is referred to as Picture 
    in Picture.
    ➠  The coloured buttons do not work as described below for TV sets with 
    MHEG-5 software, but they operate as described on page 36 (Digital 
    Teletext).
    ➠ 
    A concurrent display of two HDTV signals is not possible.
    ➠ A concurrent display of two coded stations is not possible.
    ➠ Picture change and station selection is restricted during recording.
    ➠ In sets without Digital Recorder, the PIP mode is restricted to AV-PIP (one 
    TV station and one AV source). If a satellite tuner is upgraded in these 
    sets, PIP mode from digital satellite picture and analogue picture via cable 
    TV or house antenna is possible additionally.
    Your TV set distinguishes between two PIP displays:
     Split Screen In this case screen is divided in the middle and the additonal 
    PIP image is shown on the right side of the screen. Both 
    images are compressed horizontally and each gets half of 
    the screen.
      Small PIP  In this case a small PIP image is inserted in the TV picture.
    The PIP operation distinguishes between two functionalities:
      Standard PIP  Stations freely selectable and changeable for PIP and TV 
    picture (coloured buttons have PIP-specific meaning, see 
    below).
      iPIP  Only in sets with Digital Recorder: The TV picture is moved 
    to the PIP picture when you press the PIP button. The sta-
    tion of the TV picture is now freely selectable. When you 
    press the PIP button again, the PIP picture returns to the TV 
    picture and the PIP window closes.
