Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode

The TV has a feature that allows reception of sound

other than the main audio for the program. This feature

is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS).

The TV with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo

sound and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The

SAP feature allows a TV station to broadcast other

information, which could be audio in another language

or something completely different like weather

information.

You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP

broadcasts where available.

• Stereo broadcasts
View programs like live sporting events, shows and
concerts in dynamic stereo sound.
• SAP broadcasts
Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or SAP sound.
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in
mono or stereo).
SAP sound: Listen to a second language, supplementary
commentary or other information. (SAP is mono sound.)

If stereo sound is difficult to hear.

• Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to fixed
mono-sound mode.
NOTE
• MTS only operates while in TV mode.
• MTS is available only when receiving analog broadcasting,
not when receiving digital broadcasting.
• When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the
word “Stereo” or “SAP” displays on-screen if you press
DISPLAY.

NOTE
Memorizing channels is best accomplished during evening
“PRIMETIME” hours, as more stations are broadcasting
digital signals. Memorizing channels can only be
accomplished while a station is broadcasting a digital
signal to set that channel into memory.
