Chapter 5: Using the TV’s features

Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

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

To listen to stereo sound:

1 Press Yand open the Audio menu.

2 Highlight Audio Setup and press T.

4 To 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 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.

To listen to an alternate language on an ATSC digital station (if available):

Highlight the Language field in step 3 at left, and then press C or c to select the language you prefer.

To adjust the audio quality:

1 Press Yand open the Audio menu.
