Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode
The Plasma Display System has a feature that allows reception of sound other than the main audio for the
program. This feature is called Multi-channel Television Sound(MTS). The Plasma Display System with MTS can
receive mono sound, stereo sound and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature allows a TV station
to broadcast other information, witch could be audio in another language or something completely different like
weather information.
