SAP stands for "Second Audio Program". When SAP is

to the program (for example, music or news).
If you set "SAP On" and SAP is available for a program, you
will hear SAP for any channel where it is available. SAP is
only available for analog (NTSC) programs.

Audio Mode
The Audio Mode menu lets you choose the default audio mode you want
to hear for ATSC (digital TV) programs. If the Audio Mode icon ( ) in the
banner lights, it means there is more than one audio mode available. The
system automatically sets the audio program to the default audio mode from the
menu when the channel you are viewing is a digital channel and the specifi ed
language is available for that program.
In the Audio Mode menu, highlight the default audio mode you usually want to
hear by pressing the up and down arrow buttons on your remote control. Press
OK to hear that language by default whenever available on a channel.
Some programs can have audio mode available that can be heard but that
cannot be set as the default. To select and hear those audio modes, navigate to
the “Change Audio” action button and select OK, or use the SOUND button on
the remote.
Note: You can change the Audio Mode temporarily by pressing the
SOUND button on the remote control. Changing channels reverts the
Audio Mode back to the default Audio Mode originally selected in the
menu.
SAP (Second Audio Program)

program’s audio with descriptions of the video for the visually impaired. SAP
might also contain audio which is totally unrelated to the video.
Notes: SAP is broadcast in mono and is only available for analog
programs, not digital programs.
You can activate SAP (if available) temporarily with the SOUND button.
Changing channels or inputs reverts SAP back to the SAP menu setting.

to Variable Output, Speakers On. See the following page for more
information.
