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 symbol “ ” or word “SAP” appears on-

screen when is pressed. The MTS feature is only available for analog signals on the ANT/CABLE input.

To listen to stereo sound:

1Press and open the Sound menu.

2Highlight Audio Setup and press .

3In the MTS field, select Stereo.

4To save the new settings, highlight Done and press

. To reset the settings to the factory defaults,

highlight Reset and press .

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 an alternate language on an ATSC digital station (if available):

Highlight the Language field in step 3 above, and then press ￿ or ￿ to select the language you prefer.

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

Select SAP in step 3 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.
