mode will change in the following order:
If the closed caption mode is set to
Off

activating the closed caption feature, use
Z
to set the
volume to 0.
Note:
If you modify items in the
SOUND
menu while Mute
is active, the Mute will automatically be cancelled.
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
icon of Stereo or SAP appears on-screen when
is
pressed. The MTS feature is only available for analog
signals on the
ANT/CABLE
input.

Note:

You can typically leave the TV in
Stereo
mode because
it will automatically output the type of sound being
broadcast (stereo or monaural).

noise.
To listen to a second audio program on an analog
station (if available):
Select
S
AP
in step 2 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.
