Adjusting the sound
Muting the sound
Press MUTE to temporarily reduce (1/2 MUTE) or turn off (MUTE)
the sound. While the sound is off, the screen will display “1/2
MUTE” or “MUTE” in the lower right corner. Every time you press
the button, the mute mode will change in the following order.
→ Normal → 1/2 MUTE → MUTE
When you select “MUTE” mode, the closed caption feature is
automatically activated. To deactivate this feature, deactivate MUTE.
This feature works only when the closed caption mode is set to OFF.
See “Using the closed caption feature” on page 48 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 TV. MTS can also 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 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 STEREO.

You can leave your TV in STEREO mode because it will
automatically output the type of sound being broadcast (stereo or
monaural). The word “STEREO” or “SAP” displays in yellow in
the menu when the TV receives the signal.
If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise.
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 station might broadcast music
as a second audio program. If you have SAP
on, you will see the current program on the
screen but hear music instead of the
program’s normal audio.
However, if you have SAP on, and the
station you are watching is not currently
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 STEREO mode.
