Adjusting the sound
Muting the sound
Press MUTE to temporarily turn off the sound. While the sound is
off, the screen will briefly display the word MUTE in the lower right
corner. To restore the sound, press MUTE again.
When you press MUTE, the CLOSED CAPTION feature is
automatically activated. To deactivate this feature, press MUTE again.
This feature works only when the Closed Caption mode is set to OFF.
See “Using the closed caption feature” on page 28 for details.
Using the MTS feature to select stereo/SAP broadcasts
The MTS (multi-channel TV sound) feature provides high-fidelity
stereo sound. The MTS feature 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 RECALL is pressed.
Note: 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 STR.

You can leave your TV in STR mode because it automatically
outputs the type of sound being broadcast (stereo or monaural).
If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise.
The word “STR” or “SAP” displays in yellow in the menu when
the TV receives the signal.
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 TV 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; however, occasionally there
is no sound at all in this instance. If
this happens, set the MTS feature to
STR mode.
