Chapter 8: Using the TV’s features

Adjusting the audio

Muting the sound

Press MUTE to temporarily reduce (1/2 MUTE) or turn off (MUTE) the sound. Each time you press MUTE, the mute mode will change in the following order.

→ Normal → 1/2 MUTE → MUTE →

If the closed caption mode is set to OFF when you select

“MUTE” mode, the closed caption feature is automatically activated. To deactivate this feature, deactivate MUTE. See “Using the closed caption mode” on page 75 for more information on closed caption modes.

Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature allows you to output high-fidelity stereo sound from your TV’s speakers. MTS also can transmit a second audio program (SAP) containing a second language, music, or other audio information (when provided by individual stations).

The MTS feature is not available when the TV is in VIDEO mode.

When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast:

The word “STEREO” or “SAP” displays in yellow in the menu.

The word “STEREO” or “SAP” appears on-screen when the TV is turned on, the channel is changed, or RECALL is pressed.

To listen to stereo sound:

1.Press MENU and open the AUDIO menu.

2.Highlight AUDIO SETUP and press ENTER.

3.Press z to highlight the MTS field, and then press • to select STEREO.

Note:

You can leave the TV in STEREO mode because it automatically outputs 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 • 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.
