Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode

The System 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 System 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 second language, supplementary commentary and 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.

A

Once “MONO” mode is selected, the sound remains mono even if the System receives a stereo broadcast. You must switch the mode back to “STEREO” if you want to hear stereo sound again.

Selecting MTS while in the input mode does not change the type of sound. In this case, sound is determined by the video source.
