•If you hear no sound, try setting the MTS feature to Stereo mode (- page 47).

•If you are not receiving a second audio program from a known SAP source, make sure the MTS feature is set to SAP mode (- page 47).

If you are still unable to tune digital channels, clear all channels from the channel list (- page 33) and reprogram channels into the channel memory (- page 32). If you are still unable to tune digital channels, use the Reset Factory Defaults procedure (- page 36). Also see “TV stops responding to controls” and “Other problems”
