Tone Controls Displays the slider controls for adjusting the TV’s treble, bass and balance.
Audio Processor Displays a choice list of available audio modes, which control the way the sound comes through your speakers. You can also access the AUDIO PROCESSOR menu by pressing the SOUND button on the remote.
Mono Plays the sound in mono only. Use this setting when receiving broadcasts with weak stereo signals.
Stereo Splits the incoming stereo audio signal into left and right channels. Most TV programs and recorded materials have stereo audio. The word STEREO appears on the TV when you tune to a program that is broadcast in stereo.
Expanded Stereo Electronically “widens” sound from stereo broadcasts, stereo VCRs, digital satellite systems, DVD players, and laserdisc players for a fuller sound.
Sound Logic ™ Stereo Reduces blasts in volume during commercial breaks, and also amplifies softer sounds in program material. Eliminates the need to adjust volume control.
Second Audio Program (SAP) Plays the program’s audio in a second language, if available. The word SAP appears on the TV when you tune to a program that is broadcast with SAP information. SAP audio is broadcast in mono. SAP is also used to broadcast a program’s audio with descriptions of the video for the visually impaired.
Audio Output & Speakers Displays a choice list that lets you turn the TV’s internal speakers on or off, and set the audio outputs to
Variable Output, Speakers On Turns the TV’s speakers on and allows variable output from the TV’s audio output jacks.
Variable Output, Speakers Off Turns the TV’s speakers off and allows variable output from the TV’s audio output jacks to an external component such as a surround sound amplifier.
Fixed Output, Speakers Off Turns the TV’s speakers off and allows fixed output from the TV’s audio output jacks to an external component such as a surround sound amplifier. When you choose Fixed Output Off, the TV’s volume control, tone controls, and mute are disabled.
