SAP (Second Audio Program)

When turned on, Second Audio Program 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.

Note: SAP is broadcast in mono and is only available for analog programs, not digital programs.

Optical Output

If you’ve connected a six-channel amplifier/receiver to the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack with a digital optical cable (or a SPDIF cable), you can receive Dolby Digital Surround Sound if transmitted. Choose the correct setting in the Optical Output menu.

Off: Your TV isn’t connected to an amplifier or receiver.

Auto Select: Your TV automatically chooses between Dolby Digital and PCM based on the audio signal it is receiving. This is the best selection if you have a Dolby Digital† and PCM decoder that was manufactured in the last several years.

Dolby Digital: Your TV is connected to a Dolby Digital only decoder; it will provide six independent soundtrack channels through the optical output jack (labeled DIGITAL AUDIO OUT).

PCM: Your TV is connected to a PCM only decoder; it provides two independent soundtrack channels.

Note: Some receivers can’t differentiate the audio signal through the optical cable (SPDIF cable) when you change from DIRECTV mode to TV mode. If you lose audio when you switch modes, connect left and right audio cables to the AUDIO OUTPUT jacks on the back of the TV and to the Audio Input jacks on the amplifier/receiver.
