Note:

A second audio program (SAP) can be heard

only on those TV stations that offer it.

For example, a station might broadcast music

as a second audio program. If you have SAP

on, you will see the current program on the

screen but hear music instead of the

program’s normal audio.

However, if you have SAP on, and the station

you are watching is not currently

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.

Note:

Adjusting the sound quality (bass, treble and

balance) does not affect from the variable

audio OUT jacks.
