MTS STEREO SAP MONO

Many broadcasts today contain more than one audio signal. In addition to stereo and mono soundtracks,
some broadcasts also contain a second soundtrack in a different language. Use MTS to select the audio
signal you wish to listen to.
• Select STEREO for your normal listening needs. With this setting programs broadcast in stereo will be
played by the TV in stereo. Programs broadcast in mono sound only will be played in mono sound.
• Select MONO if you are receiving a weak signal. Mono sound will usually give clearer sound from weak
signals than will stereo. With this setting all broadcasts, mono and stereo, will be played in mono sound
only by the television.
• Select SAP (Second Audio Program) to listen to an alternate soundtrack (if one is being broadcast).
Alternate soundtracks may be the dialog of a program in a different language or additional information
about a program topic. A logo will appear at the beginning of a program with SAP to inform you that an
alternate soundtrack is available.

Some Sound Advice

You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ONAIR arrow in the MTS menu.
Unfortunately, some cable companies may “squash” the transmission of stereo programs because
they have only monaural equipment. If you are connected to a cable system, the sound is at the mercy
of that cable company. If they broadcast only monaural signals, your television will only receive a
mono signal even if the program was originally broadcast in stereo.
Fortunately, most programs that are broadcast in stereo are aired on the major television networks. If
you connect your TV to an antenna instead of cable, and set the tuner mode in the AUTO TUNER
SETUP to “AIR” instead of “CABLE” you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in stereo.
