Setting Digital broadcasting audio
mode
The types of audio transmitted in a digital broadcast
include SURROUND as well as MONO and STEREO.
In addition, it is possible for multiple audio tracks to
accompany a single video track.
Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode
The TV 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 TV
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.
