• Once “MONO” mode is selected, the sound remains mono
even if the System receives a stereo broadcast. You must
switch the mode back to “STEREO” if you want to hear
stereo sound again.
• Selecting MTS while in the input mode does not change
the type of sound. In this case, sound is determined by
the video source.

Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode
The System has a feature that allows reception of
sound other than the main audio for the program. This
feature is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS).
The System with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo
sound and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP
feature allows a TV station to broadcast other
information, which could be audio in another language
or something completely different like weather
information.
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP
broadcasts where available.
