components (like a VCR) that are connected to the INPUT

jacks on the back of the TV are called input channels.

Selecting channel 90 lets you see the s_gnal coming from
whatex, er component is attached to the S-WDEOconnector,

channel 91 lets you see the stgnal from the INPUT1jacks,
and channel 92 lets you see the signal from the INPUT2

jacks, Your TV is equipped with a custom picture memory

for these input channels. When the TV is tuned to one of

these channels (90.91,92), you can change the picture
settings for that component's signal as desired without
changing the settings of any other channel. This is very
useful because you will be able to adjust for the best
picture from each of your components and the TV will
remember those settings automatically the next nine you
tune that input channel.

Receiving Stereo Broadcasts

Your TV is fillly 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

STI-REO/SAP function is set _:oSTEREOSOthe TV can receive

stereo broadcasts.
Normally this function can be left in the STEREOmode.

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, cleanm sound.

Helpful Hint: Some television stations transmit a "'pilot" signal that
makes your TV think u's receiving stereo, even though the broadca._t
.s=gnal is monaural. The "'pilot" s=gnal wdl make the stereo md=cator
appear on the screen next to the channel number, however, you will not
be able to hear _tereo sound. If the stereo indmator appears but you can
not hear stereo round, check with the telex ision .,ration to require
whether the progr:un being broadcast is in stereo or monaural audio

Receiving SAP Broadcasts

Some TV stations that broadcas: stereo also broadcast
another audio program called SAP. SAP stands for Second

Audio Program and i, sometimes used to broadcast a
second audio track for a bilingual rmvie.

Because SAP is only available with stereo broadcasts, the
TV's STEREOiSAPfunction must be in the STERE()mode to see

if SAP audio is available. After you have set I:he

STEREO/SAP function to the STEREOmode, your TV will

display the word STEF;EOnext tOthe channel number when
stereo audio is being received. If SAP audio is also
available, )'our TV _ ill display an asterisk (×) after the
word STEREO(STEREO,'-).

You can then listen to the SAP audio by changing the
STEREO/SAPfunction to _ts SAPsetting as explained below.
Although SAP audio is transmi:ted with tire 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.

Expanded Stereo

Your TV includes an Expanded Stereo feature which adds
greater depth and dimension to stereo broadcasts. Your TV
electronical]ty increases the audio separation perception of
the speakers, so you perceive an "'expanded" more spacious

stereo sound effect.

Although you can easily turn the expanded stere() feature
on and off"as desired, you may prefer to leave it turned on.

That way your TV will automatically process and expand

the stereo signals whenever a stereo broadcast is received
(,or whenever a stereo tape is played through a stereo VCR

connected to the TV's audio/video jacks labeled INPUT).
Because this feature expands stereo sound, it processes

only stereo signals. If a TV program is broadcast in mono
instead of stereo, your TV will automatically reproduce
monaural audio. You will not be able to hear E,q)anded
Stereo because expansion has no effect on monaural audio.

Stereo expansion enhances the ambience of music and
program material. Dramatic effects of spatial enhancement
can be experienced with music. Talk shows with
background crowd noise also benefit from expansion by
engulfing the listener in a wider sound field than would be
experienced without expanded stereo. The effect will vary,
with progratn material.

•_ll[o dg.'l(=4{=ze_iO]i

The perception of greater stereo separation is created by
cancelling the cross-coupled sound from the fight speaker
that arrives at the left ear (and the left speaker that arrives
at the right ear). Like stereo headphones, stereo expansion
isolates the left and right signals that arrive at the ears. ,,ks
a result, the speakers seem to be farther away from the TV.

Notes: The Expanded Sterea featme will have no effect unle.,,sthe

program is broadcast in stereo.
When the Expanded Stereo feature _sturned on. some sound will be

heard from each speaker regardless of the BALANCEcontrol setting
