6. Adjust the display level of the inset screen.

You can adjust the display level of the inset screen by moving the video fader forward or backward. Moving it all the way to the
B-Bus end displays the inset screen at a level of 100%. Moving it all the way to the A-Bus end makes the inset screen disappear.

You can also use the PinP menu (p. 42) to make settings for the position and size of the inset screen. You can save up to eight sets of settings at
the PinP menu (EFFECTS 140 through 147). To save settings, press the [MENU] button to display the menu, then press the on-screen [PinP 1 - 4] or
[PinP 5 - 8] button. Selecting [SAVE CURRENT PinP] lets you save the current settings to the corresponding number.
