Over-the-air FM simulcasts
Sometimes a TV station and an FM radio station will
broadcast a program simultaneously so that viewers

stereo by tuning to the correct FM station of the users
FM tuner.
This TV featuring double-sided speakers has been
equipped with External audio (L1R) jacks to
allow the
user to connect an FM tuner so that stereo simulcasts
can be enjoyed on the TV's stereo speakers. Set-up is

Over-the-cable FM simulcasts
Cable TV companies have also started "simulcasting"
some channels like MTV (Music Television) and select-
ed movies in stereo over the cable. In the case of cable
stereo programs, however, the audio signal is not sent
over the air but sent on FM frequencies over the cable.
By splitting the incoming cable signal and running it to
both the TV tuner and an FM tuner/receiver, these cable
programs can be enjoyed in stereo over the TV's double-
sided speakers as shown below.
