Getting PIP to work. I am having some trouble and not sure what I'm doing wrong if anything. I cannot get the PIP to work in the TV mode. It is greyed out in the menu.

The PIP on this and almost every other HDTV being sold currently is single tuner PIP. That means that you do get PIP, but only one of those pictures can be from the TV, because you only have one TV tuner. To use PIP, you need one of the sources to be from DVD, or another source that is not TV. On old standard definition Analogue TVs, two tuner PIP became popular and widely available because the tuners were inexpensive so a manufacturer could afford to put two tuners in the set. With HDTV, the digital tuner needed is not an inexpensive component, so you'll only find dual tuner PIP on a few high-end model HDTVs.

It's because one cnonection is hd and the other isn't both things your looking at have to be the same definition standard or high I believe.

No, I don't think so. We used to have pip in our old television....we hardly ever used it. This picture is too beautiful to complicate it with another picture.

My picture-in-picture works fine using the WinTV v7 program. Just right click over the main picture & select what channel you want to see in the second picture. I don't think PIP will work in Windows Media Center.

Anybody?....we have tried everything. There is supposed to be an option for av out in the quality video settings. However the options in quality are the same as in panel quality. Very dissapointed right now. How do I get them both to play video as well as hearing the movie?

I think I may have a similar issue. I connected my TV, and I have no picture, no sound, or anything at all. The right light on the button right comes on and off when I hit the power button, but that's it. Can't get the menu or anything to work.

Update: Watched a dvd last night (the same dvd I first tried) and the picture was perfect - even using HDMI 1080p setting! This time I chose "Anynet HDMI DVD" from the source list on my tv settings, which I don't remember being an option before. I previously chose "DVI". I wonder if that made the difference. Hmm. Anyway....glad my dvd's now look just as great as the HD channels. Thank you for responding C.Woodruff. :)LadyR

Got a question, I got this TV and PS3 with a HDMI cable, but as I connected my PS3 with a HDMI cable version 1.3, the TV cannot find the signal...Do you know what could be the problem??

Both of my minis worked right out of the box. One thing to consider, though - and I'll confess this hadn't occurred to me until my first install - is that the audio is transmitted on the HDMI cable.... so if you don't have an HDMI port on your TV (mine didn't), then an HDMI-to-other-video adaptor isn't sufficient - you get picture but no sound. In my case, I had to pick up an HDMI-VGA converter with separate audio out, and run that audio into the TV audio in... then I was good. On my *next* install, TV with HDMI - plugged right in and worked immediately, no problems. Maybe you're in a similar situation... good luck! Both of my minis worked right out of the box.

My son is having trouble with that too. He finally got Polly to accept one. Now at least he knows it can be done. Make sure you turn the sound for the correct picture on. Can you save the game? We havent figured how to save it.

The PIP works great. You can only view an HDMI, Component, or RCA source with the TV source (RF connection). You might have to do some adjustments to make it work the way you want. I use an RF wireless transmitter from one of my other sat boxes hooked up to the tv over RF. It works for me. Since most tv's these days only have 1 tuner for each source built in its hard to do PIP the way it was done on analog tv's.You can have a little screen, a slightly bigger screen, then you have two options for picture out of picture (POP). It works great for me watching football. Unless you have a receiver hooked up it can be cumbersome to change audio sources for the PIP. The PIP works great.

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.

The 650 offers limited PIP behavior as described by J. P. Dodge above. According to the manual, PIP is available for the antenna TV tuner, analog broadcasts only, when the primary video is from one of the other inputs: component, HDMI, PC. I have not tested this to make sure the manual is accurate, that PIP accepts only analog broadcasts, not digital. As the manual is so specific, I expect it is accurate. So, come February when the analog broadcasts disappear or become low-power only, this will be a truly useless feature.

Does anyone know whether it will convert PAL/NTSC DVD when using TV out and connecting to NTSC/PAL TV? The manual says, that the DVD has to match the TVs system, which would mean it won't convert.I need a player I can take oversees and hook up to a TV over there. It also would be nice to be able to do the same with PAL discs over here. So far from high end players I found only Pana LS91/97 which are close to that, but it requires service remote to unlock regions and is stil missing PAL->NTSC conversion.

I don't have a PS3 but whenever I play 3D content from HBO on Cox cable, I have to put the TV in 3D mode and then pick the 3D format out of the 3 it supports. Now, if you do this and it doesn't go into the 3D format you select, then I guess there's something wrong.
