Note: You can change the Audio Mode temporarily by pressing the SOUND button on the remote control. Changing channels reverts the Audio Mode back to the default Audio Mode originally selected in the menu.

Notes: SAP is broadcast in mono and is only available for analog programs, not digital programs.

You can activate SAP (if available) temporarily with the SOUND button. Changing channels or inputs reverts SAP back to the SAP menu setting.
