Setting MTS/SAP mode
When watching conventional TV programs, you may enjoy
stereo sound and/or Secondary Audio Programs (SAP), using
the Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS) function.
• Stereo broadcasts
You can enjoy, for example, sports, shows, and concerts in
dynamic stereo sound.
• SAP broadcasts
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in
mono or stereo).
SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplementary
commentary and other information. (SAP is mono sound.)
• Conventional TV channels in this manual designate TV channels that
are received through the conventional VHF/UHF frequencies or
conventional cable TV channels.
• When stereo sound is difficult to hear, you may manually switch to
the MONO mode to obtain clearer sound.
• Once the MONO mode is selected, the Plasma Display System
sound remains mono even if the Plasma Display receives a stereo
broadcast. You must reselect the STEREO mode if you want to hear
stereo sound again.
• Selecting MTS while the input source is INPUT 1 to 4 does not
change the type of sound. In this case, sound is determined by the
video source.
Each time you press MTS, MTS toggles as shown below.
