The pip got stuck using a universal remote..i cannot clear it no matter what button I use

No remote control than its original will go. http://homenol.blogspot.com/

push the pip button and it will go away

Without its original remote control, you can't. If you wish to buy its original remote control, contact the authorized service centre, or authorized dealer to your device brand. They can either give you a genuine remote control to your device, or can direct you, from where can you purchase a suitable one.
To select a proper universal remote control, you should know about the number of digits to its set-up codes. There are 3 digit, 4 digit, 5 digit, 2 digit and even single digit codes, to some brand devices. After confirming this, check the sites linked here. Both the sites have set-up code list and set-up procedure to many popular brand remote controls. Check which brand remote control has set-up code/s to your device brand, and buy that one according to availability. Brand name of the remote control isn't a matter, but it should have set-up codes in its code list, to the device brand you have.
Please note: Every new universal remote control will have set-up code list, and set-up procedure along with its pack. Never accept a remote control, that hasn't both of this. For more details about the set-up codes, visit the sites.

Universal remote controls are available at most of the electronic spare part selling shops. Visit some on-line sites too, which deals with electronic spare parts.

Few universal remotes will provide functionality to any but the most basic of functions.

PIP only functions properly when being used with HDMI.

I feel you will need to buy a dedicated remote. I found some on Amazon for a reasonable price.

Hello
If you are using a Universal remote control with this set, some button functions won't coincide with the display. If you are using its original remote control, the contacts inside the remote control is dirty or dusty. You have to open the remote control and clean its contact pad and printed circuit touch pad with rectified spirit or medical quality turpentine. Never use petrol of such hard solvents to do this, becuse they will damage the rubber parts of the remote control. If it is a universal remote control doing this will be of no use. It will behave only like this. OK.

I used 0178 to program my universal remote. You can also try 10056, 10178,10864,10885,11756,10056,11758, and 11499. Then you can try by dropping the "1" from the front of these codes.
Most good remotes have a programming function if this does not work, where the remote will "learn" the proper code.
The actual button remote codes are as follows:
0 00117
1 00121
2 00119
3 00123
4 00116
5 00120

Hi,

The procedure to remove it with the remote is simple, it's a single button on the remote that allow to toggle it on and off.

The PIP function on generic/universal remote is often not the same as on the original one. PIP is considered an advanced feature.

Unplug and then turn back the unit ON, after few minutes, say 30 minutes. If the problem persists, then toggle the buttons on the remote, unless send me a pic of the remote so that i could tell you the button.

Note - Sometimes, this is a problem in TV as well.

Let me know, once done.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

I solved this problem by pressing SHIFT + 1

To turn off the "stuck" pip on a Panasonic tv without a remote, turn off the tv. Then hold down the "Action" button on the front of the tv and press the power button. This will activate a reset and self check of the systems and voila! The pesky pip screen will be gone! This is on an approximately 10 year old regular crt "CT-xxxxx" series tv.

I pressed "Demo" on the front of my TV and it worked, I have an old Sony KP-53XBR35 VIDEOSCOPE XBR - no original remote and the Universal remote has PIP button but would not shut it off.
Finally it's off!!!!
