Adjusting the sound

Muting the sound

Press MUTE to temporarily reduce (1/2 MUTE) or turn off (MUTE)
the sound. While the sound is muted, the screen will display "1/2
MUTE" or "MUTE" in the lower right corner. Every time you press
MUTE, the mute mode will change in the following order.
→ Normal → 1/2 MUTE → MUTE
When you select "MUTE" mode, the closed caption feature is
automatically activated (if the closed caption mode is set to OFF). To
deactivate this feature, deactivate MUTE. See "Using the closed
caption feature" on page 49 for more information.

Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature allows you to output
high-fidelity stereo sound from your TV's internal speakers. 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 word STEREO
or SAP appears on-screen every time the TV is turned on, the channel
is changed, or the RECALL button is pressed.
The MTS feature is not available when the TV is in VIDEO mode.
To listen to stereo sound:
1. Press MENU, and then press x or • until the AUDIO menu
appears.
2. Press y or z to highlight MTS.
3. Press x or • to highlight STEREO.

You can leave your TV in STEREO mode because it will
automatically output the type of sound being broadcast (stereo or
monaural). The word "STEREO" or "SAP" displays in yellow in
the menu when the TV receives the signal.
If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise.
To listen to SAP (if available):
1. Press MENU, and then press x or • until the AUDIO menu
appears.
2. Press y or z to highlight MTS.
3. Press x or • to highlight SAP. You will hear the station's second
audio program (if available) from the speakers, while viewing the
original program's picture (see note at right).

Note :
A second audio program (SAP) can be heard
only on those TV stations that offer it.
For example, a station might broadcast music
(or another language) as a second audio
program. If you have SAP on, you will see the
current program on the screen but hear
music (or 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.
Occasionally no sound is output in SAP mode
at all. If this happens, set the MTS feature to
STEREO mode.
