Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature provides high-fidelity stereo sound. MTS also can transmit a second audio program (SAP) containing a second language or other audio information (when available).

Note: The MTS feature is not available in VIDEO mode.

When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word “STEREO” or “SAP” displays on-screen every time you turn on the TV, change the channel, or press DISPLAY.

To listen to stereo sound:

1.Press TV to select the TV mode.

2.Press MENU, then press or to display the AUDIO menu.

3.Press or to highlight MTS.

4.Press or to highlight STR (stereo).

Notes:

In general, you can leave your TV in stereo mode because the TV automatically outputs the type of sound being broadcast (stereo or mono).

If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise.

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 the sound that is output from the variable audio OUT jack.

Note:

If the remote control does not operate your TV, press the “TV” button on the remote control and try again.
