Using the TV’s Features

Adjusting the sound

Muting the sound

Press MUTE to temporarily reduce (1/2 MUTE) or turn off (MUTE) the sound. While the sound is muted, the screen will display “1/2 MUTE” or “MUTE” in the lower right corner. Every time you press MUTE, the mute mode will change in the following order.

→Normal → 1/2 MUTE → MUTE

When you select “MUTE” mode, the closed caption feature is automatically activated (if the closed caption mode is set to OFF). To deactivate this feature, deactivate MUTE. See “Using the closed caption feature” on page 49 for more information.

Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature allows you to output high-fidelity stereo sound from your TV’s 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 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). The word “STEREO” or “SAP” displays in yellow in the menu when the TV receives the signal.

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 station’s second audio program (if available) from the speakers, while viewing the original program’s 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 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.

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