Chapter 6: Using the TV’s features
Note:
• A second audio program (SAP) can be heard
only on those TV stations that offer it. For
example, a station might broadcast another
language as a second audio program. If you
have SAP on, you will see the current program
on the screen but hear the other language
instead of the program’s normal audio.
• If you have SAP on and the station you are
watching is not broadcasting a second audio
program, the station’s normal audio will be
output. However, occasionally there is no
sound at all in SAP mode. If this happens, set
the MTS feature to Stereo mode.
