Adjusting the sound
Muting the sound
Press MUTE to temporarily turn off the sound. While the sound is
off, the screen will display the word MUTE in the lower right corner.
To restore the sound, press MUTE again.
When you press the MUTE button, the Closed Caption feature is
automatically activated. To deactivate this feature, press the MUTE
button again. This feature works only when the closed caption mode
is set to OFF. See “Using the closed caption feature” on page 34 for
more information.
Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts
The Multi-channel TV Sound (MTS) feature allows you to listen to
high-fidelity stereo sound while watching your TV. 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 every time the TV is turned on, the channel
is changed, or the RECALL button is pressed.
The MTS feature is not available in VIDEO mode.
To listen to stereo sound:
1. Press MTS (or MENU then yz) to display the AUDIO menu.
MTS will be highlighted.

You can leave your TV in STEREO mode because it will
automatically output stereo or monaural sound, depending on
the broadcast type. If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to
reduce the noise.
To listen to a second audio program (SAP):
1. Press MTS (or MENU then yz) to display the AUDIO menu.
MTS will be highlighted.
2 Press MTS (or x •) to highlight SAP in the AUDIO menu. The
word SAP displays in yellow in the menu when the TV receives
an SAP signal.
While viewing a program in SAP mode, you will hear the station’s
second audio program (if available) instead of the program’s
normal audio (see note at right).

Note:
A second audio program (SAP) can be heard
only on those TV stations that offer it.
For example, a station might broadcast the
news as their second audio program. With
SAP on, you would see the regular program
on the screen but hear the news instead of
the program’s normal audio.
If you have SAP on, and the station you are
watching also has SAP on but is not
broadcasting any audio on their SAP, you will
be able to see the picture but not hear any
sound. If this occurs, put the TV in STEREO
mode so you can hear the station’s normal
audio.
