Using the TV’s Features

When you select “MUTE” mode, the closed caption feature is automatically activated. To deactivate this feature, deactivate MUTE. This feature works only when the closed caption mode is set to OFF. See “Using the closed caption feature” on page 48 for more information.

Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature allows you to listen to high-fidelity stereo sound while watching TV. 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 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.

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 this instance. If this happens, set the MTS feature to STEREO mode.
