Some Sound Advice
You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the MTS
menu. Unfortunately, it is common for some cable companies to squash the transmission of
stereo programs to mono because they only have mono equipment. If your TV is connected to a
cable system, the sound is at the mercy of that cable company — if they broadcast in mono, you
receive mono sound regardless of the original stereo programming.
Fortunately, most programs that are broadcast in stereo are aired on the major television
networks. If you connect your TV to an antenna instead of cable, and set the Tuner Mode in the
Auto Tuner Setup to “Air” instead of “Cable,” you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in
stereo.
