other than the main audio for the program. This feature
is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The TV

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.

View programs like live sporting
events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.

(either in mono or stereo). SAP sound: Listen to a second
