SAP is an additional part of the
stereo broadcast system. Sent as a
third audio channel SAP can be
heard apart from the current TV
program sound. TV stations are
free to4ase SAP for any number of
purposes, but many experts
believe it will be used for foreign
language translations of TV
shows (or for weather and news
bulletins.)
If a SAP signal is not present
with a selected program, the SAP
option cannot be selected. Also, if
SAP is selected on a channel
(with SAP) and you select another
channel, when you return to the
original channel SAP will be OFF
(and you will have to reselect the
SAP feature.)
