Chapter 6: Using the TV’s features

Adjusting the audio

Muting the sound

Press W to partially reduce (1/2 MUTE) or turn off (MUTE)
the sound. Each time you press W, the mute mode will
change in the following order:
If the closed caption mode is set to Off when you select
“MUTE” mode, the closed caption feature is automatically
activated. To mute the audio without automatically activating
the closed caption feature, use Z to set the volume to 0. See
“Using the closed caption mode” (-page 62) for more
information on closed caption modes.

Using the digital audio selector

You can use the Digital Audio Selector to conveniently
switch between audio tracks on a digital channel (for those
channels that have multiple audio tracks). This temporarily
overrides the audio track chosen by the language option under
Audio Setup (- “Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts” at
right).

To use the digital audio selector:

1Press Y and open the Audio menu.
2Highlight Digital Audio Selector and press T.
3Press B or b to select Audio, and then press C or c to
select the desired service.
4Press O.

Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature allows you to
output high-fidelity stereo sound. MTS can also 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 when E is pressed.
The MTS feature is not available when the TV is in VIDEO
mode.

To listen to stereo sound:

1Press Y and open the Audio menu.
2Highlight Audio Setup and press T.
3In the MTS field, select Stereo.
4To save the new settings, highlight Done and press T.
To reset the settings to the factory defaults, highlight
Reset and press T.
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 3 above, and then press
C or c to select the language you prefer.
