Using the TV’s Menu System
In the Audio Language menu, highlight the audio language you want by pressing the up and down arrow buttons on your remote control. Press OK to activate.
Some programs can have audio languages available that can be heard, but that cannot be set as the default. To select and hear those audio languages, navigate to the “Change Audio” action button and select OK.
SAP (Second Audio Program)
When turned on, Second Audio Program plays the program’s audio in a second language, if one is available. SAP is also used to broadcast a program’s audio with descriptions of the video for the visually impaired. Or, SAP might contain audio which is totally unrelated to the video.
Note: SAP is broadcast in mono and is only available for analog programs, not digital programs.

•Variable Output, Speakers On This setting turns the TV’s front speakers On and allows variable output from the TV’s Fixed/Variable Audio Output jacks. Use this setting if the TV is not connected to an audio receiver or amplifier and the volume is controlled by the TV.
•Variable Output, Speakers Off This setting turns the TV’s front speakers Off and allows variable output from the TV’s Fixed/Variable Audio Output jacks. Use this setting if the TV is connected to an audio receiver or amplifier and the volume is controlled by the TV.
•Fixed Output, Speakers Off This setting turns the TV’s front speakers Off and provides fixed output from the TV’s Fixed/Variable Audio Output jack to a receiver or amplifier. With the Fixed Output, the TV’s volume control, graphic equalizer, and mute are disabled. This output is ideal when connecting to an audio receiver or amplifier that has its own remote control for controlling the volume.
Note: If the Internal Speaker source switch on the back of the TV is set to EXT AMP, it overrides any above setting of Speakers Off and allows the internal speakers to be used as a center speaker input.
