Adjusting the audio

Muting the sound

Press MUTE to partially reduce (1/2 Mute) or turn off (Mute) the sound. Each time you press MUTE , the mute mode will change in the following order:

1/2 Mute Mute Volume

If the closed caption mode is set to Off when you select “Mute” mode, the closed caption feature is automatically activated if the TV program is Closed Captioned. To mute the audio without automatically activating the closed caption feature, use Z to set the volume to 0.

Note: If you modify items in the SOUND menu while Mute is active, the Mute will automatically be cancelled.

Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature allows you to output high-fidelity stereo sound. MTS also can transmit a second audio program (SAP) containing a second language, music, or other audio information (when provided by individual stations).

When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word “STEREO” or “SAP” appears on-screen when INFO is pressed. The MTS feature is only available for analog signals on the ANT/CABLE input.

To listen a stereo sound:

1From the SOUND menu, highlight MTS.

2 Press C or c to select Stereo and press EXIT .

Note:

•You can typically leave the TV in Stereo mode because it will automatically output the type of sound being broadcast (stereo or monaural).

•If the stereo sound is noisy, select Mono to reduce the noise.

To listen to a second audio program on an analog station (if available):

Select SAP in step 2 above.

Note:

•A Second Audio Program (SAP) can be heard only on those TV stations that offer it. For example, a station might broadcast another language as a second audio program. If you have SAP on, you will see the current program on the screen but hear the other language instead of the program’s normal audio.

•If you have SAP on and the station you are watching is not broadcasting a second audio program, the station’s normal audio will be output. However, occasionally there

is no sound at all in SAP mode. If this happens, set the MTS feature to Stereo mode.

Using the MTS button

If you press when an analog channel is tuned: •The Analog Audio bar will appear and will display

Stereo, SAP, Mono as the options.

If you press when a digital channel is tuned: •The Digital Audio bar will appear and will offer different audio choices for the digital channel.
