Press MUTE to temporarily turn off the sound. While the sound is off, the screen will display the word MUTE in the lower right-hand corner. To restore the sound, press MUTE again.

Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature provides high-fidelity stereo sound. MTS also can transmit a second audio program (SAP) containing a second language or other audio information (when available).

Note: The MTS feature is not available in VIDEO mode.

When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word “STEREO” or “SAP” displays on-screen every time you turn on the TV, change the channel, or press RECALL.

To listen to stereo sound:

1.Press MENU, then press or to display the AUDIO menu.

2.Press or to highlight MTS.

3.Press or to highlight STR (stereo).

Note:

In general, you can leave your TV in stereo mode because the TV automatically outputs the type of sound being broadcast (stereo or mono.)

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

Note:

A second audio program (SAP) can be heard only on those TV stations that offer it.

For example, a station might broadcast music as a second audio program. If you have SAP on, you will see the current program on the screen but hear music instead of the program’s normal audio.

However, if you have SAP on, and the station you are watching is not currently 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.

Launched in an era that marked the transition from traditional tube TVs to the burgeoning flat-screen technology, the 34HF85 offers a blend of classic design and modern capabilities.

A hallmark of the Toshiba 34HF85 is its size; sporting a 34-inch screen, it strikes a balance between being compact enough for smaller living spaces while still providing an immersive viewing experience. The television features a high-resolution, flat-screen display that showcases vibrant colors and sharp images, enhancing the viewing pleasure for movies, sports, and interactive gaming.

This versatility makes it convenient for users who wish to integrate multiple entertainment systems.

Additionally, the Toshiba 34HF85 offers features such as a digital comb filter, which reduces image artifacts and enhances the quality of standard-definition content.
