Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature allows you to output high-fidelity stereo sound from your TVÕs internal speakers. MTS also can transmit a second audio program (SAP) containing a second language, music, or other audio information (when provided by individual stations).

When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word STEREO or SAP appears on-screen every time the TV is turned on, the channel is changed, or the RECALL button is pressed. The word ÒSTEREOÓ or ÒSAPÓ displays in yellow in the menu when the TV receives the signal.

The MTS feature is not available when the TV is in VIDEO mode. To listen to stereo sound:

1.Press MENU, and then press x ( ) or • ( ) until the AUDIO menu appears.

2.Press y () or z () to highlight MTS.

3.Press x ( ) or • ( ) to highlight STEREO.

You can leave your TV in STEREO mode because it will automatically output the type of sound being broadcast (stereo or monaural).

If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise. To listen to SAP (if available):

1.Press MENU, and then press x ( ) or • ( ) until the AUDIO menu appears.

2.Press y () or z () to highlight MTS.

3.Press x ( ) or • ( ) to highlight SAP. You will hear the stationÕs second audio program (if available) from the speakers, while viewing the original programÕs picture (see note at right).

Note :

A second audio program (SAP) can be heard only on those TV stations that offer it.

For example, a station might broadcast music (or another language) as a second audio program. If you have SAP on, you will see the current program on the screen but hear music (or the other language) instead of the programÕs normal audio.

If you have SAP on and the station you are watching is not broadcasting a second audio program, the stationÕs normal audio will be output.

Occasionally no sound is output in SAP mode. If this happens, set the MTS feature to STEREO mode.

30HF83 specifications

The Toshiba 30HF83 is a versatile television model that appeals to viewers seeking quality performance and reliable technology in a compact size. Launched during a time when CRT televisions were phasing out, the 30HF83 blends traditional CRT characteristics with innovative features tailored for enhanced viewing experiences.

One of the standout features of the Toshiba 30HF83 is its 30-inch screen, which offers a comfortable viewing size for small to medium rooms.

Additionally, the 30HF83 boasts a 16x9 aspect ratio, allowing for a more cinematic viewing experience. This aspect ratio supports both widescreen content and standard programming, providing flexibility for various types of media.

This versatility allows users to connect external devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, and VCRs, catering to a variety of entertainment preferences.

In terms of sound performance, the Toshiba 30HF83 integrates a built-in audio system designed to complement its visual capabilities. The TV features stereo sound, which enhances the overall viewing experience by delivering clear audio alongside superior video performance.
