Setting WOWTM surround sound

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.
