◊ Listen To
Determines how your TV receives a broadcast audio
signal and plays the sound you hear.
Your choices are:
• Stereo: Default setting. The TV plays stereo
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 mon-
aural 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.
