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.
