Receiving Stereo Broadcasts
Your TV is fully capable of reproducing stereo sound from
TV stations transmitting stereo sound in your area. All you
have to do to enjoy stereo sound is to make sure the TV’s
STEREO/SAP function is set to STEREO so the TV can receive
stereo broadcasts.
Normally this function can be left in the
STEREO mode.
Your TV will then automatically reproduce either stereo or
monaural sound, whichever is broadcast.
In some fringe viewing areas, however, the stereo signal
may not be strong enough for quality reception. The signal
may drift, or the reproduction may become noisy. Should
that occur, change the
STEREO/SAP function to the MONO
mode to receive clearer, cleaner sound.
Helpful Hint: Some television stations transmit a “pilot” signal that
makes your TV think it’s receiving stereo, even though the broadcast
signal is monaural. The “pilot” signal will make the stereo indicator
appear on the screen next to the channel number, however, you will not
be able to hear stereo sound. If the stereo indicator appears but you can
not hear stereo sound, check with the television station to inquire
whether the program being broadcast is in stereo or monaural audio.
Resetting the Audio Function to Receive Stereo
with or without remote
1 Press the MENU button repeatedly to select the AUDIO MENU
and then press + to display the audio menu.
2 Press the
MENU button repeatedly to select the STEREO/SAP
function.
3 Press either + or – repeatedly until the word
STEREO appears at
the right.
Note: Each time you press the + or – button, the on-screen display
will change from
STEREO to MONO. (The word SAP may also appear if
SAP audio is present). SAP is explained at the right.
Note: When the
STEREO/SAP function is set to the STEREO mode, your
TV will let you know when a channel is being broadcast and received
in stereo by displaying the word
STEREO next to the channel number
on the screen. (Press the
TV or DISPLAY button to see the channel
number).
Receiving SAP Broadcasts
Some TV stations that broadcast stereo also broadcast
another audio program called SAP. SAP stands for Second
Audio Program and is sometimes used to broadcast a
second audio track for a bilingual movie.
Because SAP is only available with stereo broadcasts, the
TV’s
STEREO/SAP function must be in the STEREO mode to see
if SAP audio is available. After you have set the
STEREO/SAP function to the STEREO mode, your TV will
display the word
STEREO next to the channel number when
stereo audio is being received. If SAP audio is also
available, your TV will display an asterisk (
*
) after the
word
STEREO (STEREO
*
).
You can then listen to the SAP audio by changing the
STEREO/SAP function to its SAP setting as explained below.
Although SAP audio is transmitted with the stereo signal,
it is not broadcast in stereo. That means the SAP audio
will be monaural sound.
Your TV will reproduce SAP audio until you change
channels.
Turning on SAP Channel
with or without remote control
1 Press the MENU button repeatedly to select the AUDIO MENU
and then press + to display the audio menu.
2 Repeatedly press the
MENU button until STEREO/SAP is
selected.
3 Repeatedly press either + or – until the word
SAP appears at
the right.
Notes: Each time you press the + or – button, the function will
change from
STEREO to SAP to MONO (if SAP is available). If SAP is
not available, the function will change from
STEREO to MONO.
The word
SAP will appear next to the channel number when you are
listening to SAP audio. (Press the
TV or DISPLAY button to see this
display).
