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
is pressed.
The MTS feature is only available for analog signals on the
ANT/CABLE
input.
To listen to stereo sound:
Press
and open the
Audio
menu.
Highlight
Audio Setup
and press
.
In the
MTS
field, select
Stereo
.
To save the new settings, highlight
Done
and press
.
To reset the settings to the factory defaults, highlight
Reset
and press
.
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 an alternate language on an ATSC digital
station (if available):
Highlight the
Language
field in step 3 above, and then press
W
or
X
to select the language you prefer.
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.
