I just got my 61 inch DLP, and I can't find anything in the manual about the side-by-side mode of picture in picture. There isn't an obvious button on the remote either.


Am I missing something obvious?

until I found out (by accident may I add) that the remote of my 617 close to the power button flips open with a bunch of buttons in there....so after you press "PIP" on the remote, hit the "size" button under the flip cover and you can toggle between various PIP sizes!

cheers

Ah-ha! I was trying the size button, but the side-by-side does not work with component or DVI inputs. Cool! Thanks

Read Arun Gupta's guide on the DLP. It explains under which conditions the side by side PiP works. Quoting from the guide:


"DVI, VGA and Component inputs can only be used as the main image; they cannot appear side by side or in the PIP window. Antenna/RF-A or Composite/S-Video sources can be used side by side or in the PIP window."
