Chapter 6: Using the TV’s features

To listen to stereo sound:

Note:
•You can typically leave the 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 an alternate language on an

ATSC digital station (if available):

Highlight the Language field in step 2 above,
and then press or to select the language you
prefer.

To listen to a second audio program on an

analog station (if available):

Select SAP in step 2 above.
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.
Adjusting the audio quality
You can adjust the audio quality by adjusting the
bass, treble, and balance.
Note: Selecting Speakers in step 2 and
setting it to Off will mute the TV’s built-in
speakers.
Selecting the optical audio output format
You can use this feature to select the optical audio
output format when you connect a Dolby Digital
