Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature allows you to listen to
high-fidelity stereo sound while watching TV. MTS can also 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.

Note :
A second audio program (SAP) can be heard
only on those TV stations that offer it.
For example, a station might broadcast music
as a second audio program. If you have SAP
on, you will see the current program on the
screen but hear music instead of the
program's normal audio.
If you have SAP on and the station you are
watching is not currently broadcasting a
second audio program, the station's normal
audio will be output.
However, occasionally there is no sound at all
in this instance.
If this happens, set the MTS feature to
STEREO mode.
