◊ Listen to
Determines how your TV receives a broadcast audio
signal and plays the sound you hear.
Your choices are:

broadcasts in stereo and mono broadcasts in
mono. The word “Stereo” is displayed when you
tune to a channel broadcasting in stereo.
• SAP (Second Audio Program): Additional
monaural sound track that you cannot hear
during normal TV viewing. The SAP signal might
be related to the program you are watching,
(such as a sound track in a foreign language), or
it might be unrelated (such as a weather report).
If an SAP signal is broadcast, the letters “SAP”
are displayed when you tune to the channel.
• Mono: Reduces background noise. Use when
receiving a weak stereo audio signal. All audio is
played mono with this setting.
