This table describes the relation between the sound output from the speaker, the recorded sound, and the MTS mode. For instance, if you set MTS to “SAP” and a SAP signal is not being broadcast, the sound from the speakers is muted. However, if you record the same program, the sound will be recorded in the program’s primary audio channel (stereo or mono).
