MTS (Multi-Channel Television Sound)

Many broadcasts today contain more than one audio signal. In addition to stereo and mono

soundtracks, some broadcasts also contain a second soundtrack in a different language. Use

MTS to select the audio signal you wish to listen to.

• Select STEREO for your normal listening needs. With this setting programs broadcast in

stereo will be played by the TV in stereo. Programs broadcast in mono sound only will be

played in mono sound.

• Select MONO if you are receiving a weak signal. Mono sound will usually give clearer sound

from weak signals than will stereo. With this setting all broadcasts, mono and stereo, will be

played in mono sound only by the television.

• Select SAP (Second Audio Program) to listen to an alternate soundtrack (if one is being

broadcast). Alternate soundtracks may be the dialog of a program in a different language

or additional information about a program topic. A logo will appear at the beginning of a

program with SAP to inform you that an alternate soundtrack is available.

You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the

MTS menu. Unfortunately, some cable companies may "squash" the transmission of stereo

programs because they have only monaural equipment. If you are connected to a cable

system, the sound is at the mercy of that cable company. If they broadcast only monaural

signals, your television will only receive a mono signal even if the program was originally

broadcast in stereo.

Fortunately, most programs that are broadcast in stereo are aired on the major television

networks. If you connect your TV to an antenna instead of cable, and set the tuner mode

in the AUTO TUNER SETUP to "AIR" instead of "CABLE" you will be able to pick up stereo

broadcasts in stereo.
