You can listen to high-fidelity stereo sound with the Multi-channel
TV Sound (MTS) feature. MTS can also transmit a second audio
program (SAP) containing a second language or other audio
information.
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.
The MTS feature is not available in the VIDEO mode.
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. The word STEREO or SAP is displayed in
light blue when the TV receives the signal.
TO SELECT THE DESIRED MTS SETTING:
Repeatedly press MTS to select either STEREO, SAP,
MONO+SAP, or MONO. If the current program is not available
in stereo or SAP, the setting will not be available when you
press MTS.
