Basic Operations

Setting MTS/SAP mode

When watching conventional TV programs, you may enjoy
stereo sound and/or Secondary Audio Programs (SAP), using
the Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS) function.
• Stereo broadcasts
You can enjoy, for example, sports, shows, and concerts in
dynamic stereo sound.
• SAP broadcasts
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in mono
or stereo).
SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplementary com-
mentary and other information. (SAP is mono sound.)
• Conventional TV programs in this manual designate TV channels that
are received through the conventional VHF/UHF frequencies or
conventional cable TV channels.
• When stereo sound is difficult to hear, you can manually switch to
the MONO mode to obtain clearer sound.
• Once the MONO mode is selected, the Plasma Display sound
remains mono even if the Plasma Display receives a stereo broad-
cast. You must reselect the STEREO mode if you want to hear stereo
sound again.
• Selecting MTS while the input source is in VIDEO, S-VIDEO, COMPO-
NENT and HDMI does not change the type of the sound. In this case,
the sound is determined by the video source.
