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
Wor X to select the language you prefer.
To listen to a second audio program on an analog station (if available):
Select SAP in step 3 above.
Note:
•A second audio program (SAP) can be heard only on those TV stations that offer it. For example, a station might broadcast another language as a second audio program. If you have SAP on, you will see the current program on the screen but hear 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. However, occasionally there is no sound at all in SAP mode. If this happens, set the MTS feature to Stereo mode.
