Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode

The TV has a feature that allows reception of sound
other than the main audio for the program. This feature
is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The TV
with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound 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.
