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.
