Adjusting the audio
Muting the sound
Press to partially reduce (1/2 Mute) or turn off
(Mute) the sound. Each time you press , the mute
mode will change in the following order:
If the closed caption mode is set to Off when you select
“Mute” mode, the closed caption feature is
automatically activated if the TV program is Closed
Captioned. To mute the audio without automatically
activating the closed caption feature, use Z to set the
volume to 0.
Note: If you modify items in the SOUND menu while Mute
is active, the Mute will automatically be cancelled.
Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts
The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature allows you
to output high-fidelity stereo sound. MTS 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 when
is pressed. The MTS feature is only available for analog
signals on the ANT/CABLE input.
To listen a stereo sound:
1 From the SOUND menu, highlight MTS.
2 Press C or c to select Stereo and press .
Note:
• You can typically leave the TV in Stereo mode because
it will automatically output the type of sound being
broadcast (stereo or monaural).
• If the stereo sound is noisy, select Mono to reduce the
noise.
To listen to a second audio program on an analog
station (if available):
Select SAP in step 2 above.
Note:
• A Second Audio Program (SAP) can be heard only on
those TV stations that offer it. For example, a station
might broadcast another language as a second audio
program. If you have SAP on, you will see the current
program on the screen but hear 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 SAP mode. If this happens, set the
MTS feature to Stereo mode.

•The Analog Audio bar will appear and will display
Stereo, SAP, Mono as the options.
