MTS (Multi-Channel Television Sound)
MTS technology allows several audio signals to be broadcast at once, giving you a choice in what you wish to hear with a TV program. In addition to mono or stereo sound, an MTS broadcast may also include a Second Audio Program (SAP).

MTS STEREO SAP MONO
ON AIR
Select the mode
(The ON AIR arrow tells you if a broadcast is in Stereo and/or contains an SAP).
•Keep the TV in STEREO mode to get the best sound quality. The sound will work in STEREO mode even if a certain broadcast is in MONO sound only.
•Choose the MONO setting to reduce excessive noise on a certain channel or broadcast.
•Selecting SAP will allow you to hear an alternative soundtrack, if one is available.
Some Sound Advice
You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the MTS menu screen. Unfortunately, while many programs are originally broadcast in stereo, some cable companies may “squash” the transmission to mono sound because they have only mono equipment. If you are connected to a cable system, the sound quality is determined by the cable company. If they broadcast only in mono, you will receive only mono sound, even if the program was aired in stereo.
Fortunately, most stereo programs are broadcast by the major television networks. If you connect an antenna to your TV instead of cable and set the tuner mode in Auto Tuner Setup to “Air” instead of “Cable” you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in their original stereo format
NOTES:
You can leave the Sound Settings menu at any time by pressing the EXIT button on the remote control.
