Using the TV’s Menu System and Features
Using the Audio Features
Your TV/DVD is equipped with a feature known as multi-channel TV sound. MTS broadcasts
greatly enhance TV viewing by bringing you programs with high fidelity stereo sound. MTS also
provides an extra channel called the Separate Audio Program (SAP) which broadcasters can use
to transmit a second language for bilingual transmission or for other purposes.
Listening to the Audio
You can select the desired sound by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote control.
Repeatedly pressing the AUDIO button scrolls through the available options:
SEL. MONO Plays the sound in mono only; no display appears on the
screen. Use this setting when receiving broadcasts with weak stereo signals.
SEL.STEREO Splits the incoming stereo audio signal into left and right
channels. Most TV programs and recorded materials have stereo audio. The
word STEREO appears on the screen when you tune to a program that is
broadcast in stereo.
SEL.SAP (Second Audio Program) Plays the program’s audio in a
second language, if one is available. The word SAP appears on the screen
when you tune to a program that is broadcast with SAP information. SAP is
also used to broadcast a program’s audio with descriptions of the video for
the visually impaired.
SEL. MONO+SAP Plays the program’s audio in a second language, if one is
available in mono--this option is seldom available.
SEL. STEREO
Using Closed Captioning
Many programs are encoded with closed-captioning information, which lets you display the
audio portion of a program as text on the screen. Closed-captioning is not available on all
channels at all times. Only specific programs encoded with closed-captioning information are
applicable. When a program is closed-captioned, CAPTION CH1 is displayed when you bring up
the displays with the SUBTITLE button.
The TV/DVD offers four closed-captioned modes, including two text modes. To
select the closed-caption modes, press the SUBTITLE on the remote to switch
among CAPTION CH1, CAPTION CH2, TEXT CH1, TEXT CH2. The selected
mode remains in effect even if the channel is changed.
Notes: Generally the caption modes are transmitted in languages. CAPTION CH1 is
displayed in English and CAPTION CH2 displays the other languages.
The text modes cover nearly half of the picture on the screen to display the closed-
captioned text. Most broadcasters use the Channel 1 to display a few lines of
captions at a time.
Tip
For television programs broadcasting with Closed
Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed
Captions symbol (CC).
