AUDIO CONTROLS AND TIMERS
SAP (SECOND AUDIO PROGRAM)
The SAP (Second Audio Program) menu lets you choose the default setting for SAP when it is available. When set to SAP On, SAP plays the program’s second audio program, if one is available. SAP is also used to broadcast a program’s audio with descriptions of the video for the visually impaired or in a second language. SAP is broadcast in mono and is not available for digital programs.
AUDIO LANGUAGE
The Audio Language menu lets you choose the default audio language you want to hear when it is available. The system will automatically set the audio program to the selected audio language when the channel you are viewing is either a DIRECTV or a digital channel and the specified language is available.
In the Audio Language menu, highlight the audio language you want using the up and down arrows, then press OK to select.
You will also find an audio language icon in the channel banner.
Audio Language Icon
If the icon is highlighted while watching a digital (ATSC) or DIRECTV channel, two or more audio languages are available. Selecting the icon repeatedly scrolls through and plays the options.
If the icon is highlighted when watching an analog (NTSC) TV channel, a Second Audio Program (SAP) is available. Selecting the icon will play the SAP for the current channel until the channel is changed.
