ADJUSTING TV CONTROLS

Audio Processor

Audio Processor displays a choice list of available audio modes, which control the way the sound comes through your speakers. Depending on your speaker setup, any combination of the following options will appear:

•Mono Plays the sound in mono only. This is a good choice when receiving broadcasts where distance from the broadcasters makes the stereo signal weak. The channel banner displays the word Mono when you tune to a program that is broadcast in mono.

•Stereo Splits the incoming stereo audio signal into left and right channels. Most TV programs and recorded materials have stereo audio. The channel banner displays the word Stereo when you tune to a program that is broadcast in stereo.

•Surround Expands the audio listening field wider and deeper to create exceptional sound quality from the TV’s speakers. This feature uses stereo signals from a TV broadcast or video input.

Audio Output

Audio Output controls whether the built-in speakers are on or off. Select Speakers Off if the TV is connected to an audio amplifier and external speakers.

SAP

When turned on, Second Audio Program (SAP) plays the program’s audio in a second language, if one is available. SAP is also used to broadcast a program’s audio with descriptions of the video for the visually impaired. SAP is broadcast in mono and is not available for digital programs.

SBS

When turned on, Sub-Bass System allows you to improve bass performance even when the sound volume is low.

SBS Level

You can use the slider to control the level of the Sub-Bass System. Sliding the slider left using the left arrow (x ) button decreases the SBS level, sliding the slider right using the right arrow (•) button increases the SBS level. The SBS level can be changed even if SBS is Off.

For more information on the variable audio jacks, see the section “Setup and Connect ions” under “Back of the TV ” and “Connecting a Stereo Amplifier.”

You will find an audio language icon in the channel banner. When this icon is highlighted, it indicates that a Second Audio Program (SAP) is available for analog programs. If you select it when highlighted, you will activate the SAP for the current channel (all other channels remain unaffected). If the icon is highlighted when watching a digital channel or a DIRECTV channel, more than one audio language is available. If you select the icon, you will hear the language and the name will appear in the channel banner.
