provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that
the cable ground shall bb connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

M tions will often use spelling
abbreviations, symbols,

factors vary upon the source of the

indicate a need for service on the
part of the TV.

How TO Set the TV for Stereo Programs
\ * / Smart Help
Remember, if stereo is
^ not present on a selected
show and the TV is placed in
the STEREO mode, the sound
coming from the set will remain
monaural (mono.)
Second Audio Program (SAP)
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 to use 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 anoth
er channel, when you return to
the original channel SAP will be
OFF (and you will have to rese
lect the SAP feature.)
