Setting MTS/SAP mode
When watching conventional TV programs, you may enjoy stereo
sound and/or Secondary Audio Programs (SAP), using the Multi-
channel Television Sound (MTS) function.
• Stereo broadcasts
You can enjoy, for example, sports, shows, and concerts in
dynamic stereo sound.
• SAP broadcasts
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in mono
or stereo).
SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplementary
commentary and other information. (SAP is mono sound.)
Note
• Conventional TV channels in this manual designate TV
channels that are received through the conventional VHF/UHF
frequencies or conventional cable TV channels.
• When stereo sound is difficult to hear, you may manually
switch to the MONO mode to obtain clearer sound.
• Once the MONO mode is selected, the plasma display sound
remains mono even if the system receives a stereo broadcast.
You must reselect the STEREO mode if you want to hear stereo
sound again.
• Selecting MTS while the input source is INPUT 1 to INPUT 7 or
PC does not change the type of sound. In this case, sound is
determined by the video source.
•The MTS button is disabled while the TV Guide On Screen™
system is displayed.
• In each of the MTS/SAP modes selected, the display changes
depend on broadcast signals being received.
Each time you press MTS, MTS toggles as shown below.
