Setting MTS/SAP mode

When watching conventional TV programs, you may enjoy stereo sound and/or Secondary Audio Programs (SAP), using the Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS) function.

• Stereo broadcasts

You can enjoy, for example, sports, shows, and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.

• SAP broadcasts

MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in mono or stereo).

SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplementary com- mentary and other information. (SAP is mono sound.)

•Conventional TV programs in this manual designate TV channels that are received through the conventional VHF/UHF frequencies or conventional cable TV channels.

•When stereo sound is difficult to hear, you can manually switch to the MONO mode to obtain clearer sound.

•Once the MONO mode is selected, the Plasma Display sound remains mono even if the Plasma Display receives a stereo broad- cast. You must reselect the STEREO mode if you want to hear stereo sound again.

•Selecting MTS while the input source is in VIDEO, S-VIDEO, COMPO- NENT and HDMI does not change the type of the sound. In this case, the sound is determined by the video source.
