MTS (Multi-Channel Television Sound)
MTS technology allows several audio signals to be
broadcast at once, giving you a choice in what
you wish to hear with a TV program. In addition to
mono or stereo sound, an MTS broadcast may
also include a Second Audio Program (SAP).

Some Sound Advice
You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo
by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the MTS
menu screen. Unfortunately, while many
programs are originally broadcast in stereo,
some cable companies may “squash” the
transmission to mono sound because they have
only mono equipment. If you are connected to a
cable system, the sound quality is determined
by the cable company. If they broadcast only in
mono, you will receive only mono sound, even if
the program was aired in stereo.
Fortunately, most stereo programs are
broadcast by the major television networks. If
you connect an antenna to your TV instead of
cable and set the tuner mode in Auto Tuner
Setup to “Air” instead of “Cable” you will be
able to pick up stereo broadcasts in their
original stereo format.
You can leave the Sound Settings menu at any time by pressing the E XIT button on the remote control.
