Selecting Alternate Audio
How to Determine if Alternate Audio Tracks Are Available for a Program
Your program providers may broadcast multiple audio tracks with a single video source. For example, a football game might use a different audio track for each sports commentator or a movie might include both English and Spanish language audio tracks.
To determine if an alternate audio track is available:
1 Tune to the program.
2 Press the DISPLAY button to bring up the Program Banner.
If the Program Banner includes the alternate audio symbol (), this indicates that alternate audio tracks are available for that program.
Selecting an Alternate Audio Track
Using the remote control (SAT-A2 only):
Press the ALTERNATE AUDIO button repeatedly on the remote control. If more than two alternate audio tracks are available for the current program, the Set Alternate Audio screen automatically appears (see below).
Using the on-screen menus (SAT-A2/SAT-B2):
1 Press the MENU button to bring up the Main Menu.
2 Select OPTIONS MENU.
3 Select ALTERNATE AUDIO.
