GENERAL INFORMATION
Your TV is equipped to receive Multi-channel Television
Sound (MTS) when available in your area. It can also
receive a Second Audio Program (SAP), that is, a program
broadcast with two audio portions (two languages). The fol-
lowing modes of operation are available.
STEREO
Directs the sound to the left and right speakers as supplied
by the program source (broadcast TV station, VCR, etc.)
MONO (Monaural)
Directs the same sound to both left and right speakers even
if the source being received is in stereo.
2ND AUDIO/SAP (Second Audio Program)
Directs the sound for the (SAP) Second Audio Program
(typically a second language) to both the left and right
speakers. SAP sound is always monaural.
SURROUND SOUND
Surround sound gives the effect of surrounding you in
sound while listening to your TV. Surround speakers are
used with the rear-channel Surround sound provided by the
TV.
Surround sound is available in programs specially encoded
for the rear-channel sound track. Many broadcast television
programs, pre-recorded video tapes and video discs pro-
vide surround sound. Tapes and discs may provide a
greater sensation of Surround sound than obtained from a
TV broadcast.
NOTE: SURROUND sound is only available if a stereo sig-
nal is being received and you have previously selected
STEREO using the AUDIO option or if STEREO is
selected by default.
The level of Surround sound varies relative to the Surround
information encoded into the program material. Some sour-
ces, especially if from a video tape, provide greater sensa-
tion of Surround Sound than may be obtained from a
standard TV broadcast.
AUTOMATIC MODE SELECTION
We recommend that you use the STEREO option. The TV
will switch automatically between the STEREO and
MONO modes dependent on the signal being received.
If you prefer SAP, use the 2ND AUDIO/SAP option. On
those stations which broadcast two audio portions, you will
hear the SAP (usually a second language). When the SAP
broadcast ends, the TV switches automatically between
STEREO and MONO modes. The TV switches back to
2ND AUDIO when the SAP broadcast resumes.
BASS
Use ADJUST (ADJ) Left/Right to adjust the amount of
BASS (low-frequency level) in the sound. To decrease (-)
BASS, press ADJUST (ADJ) Left. To increase ( + ) BASS,
press ADJUST (ADJ) Right.
TREBLE
Use ADJUST (ADJ) Left/Right to adjust the amount of
TREBLE (high-frequency level) in the sound. To decrease
(-) TREBLE, press ADJUST (ADJ) Left. To increase
( + ) TREBLE, press ADJUST (ADJ) Right.
BALANCE
Use ADJUST (ADJ) Left/Right to shift the BALANCE of
sound between the left and right speakers as indicated by
the on-screen display. To increase the relative sound level
in the Left (L) speaker, press ADJUST (ADJ) Left. To in-
crease the relative sound level in the Right (R) speaker,
press ADJUST (ADJ) Right.
