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).

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 the VOL z button to set the volume to 0. See “Using the closed caption mode” on page 75 for more information on closed caption modes.
