this reason, when operating the remote control, you must
point it directly at the front of the TV without objects
between that can block the infrared light beam.

CustomPictureMemoryfor Input Channels

The channel numbers you select to see signals from
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 signal coming from
whatever component is attached to the S-VIDEOconnector,
channel 91 lets you see the signal 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 time you

tune that input channel.

This feature adds greater depth and dimension to stereo

broadcasts. You will probably want to leave this function turned

to the appropriate jacks on the back of the TV as described on
page 44. Turning this function off, turns off not only the TV's

internal speakers but also any external or surround speakers

connected to the TV's speaker terminals. Sound will then only
come through the speakers connected to the amplifier, since the
TV's speakers are turned off.

Receiving Stereo Broadcasts

Your TV is fully 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
STEREO/SAPfunction is set to STEREOSO the 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/SAPfunction to the MONO
mode to receive clearer, cleaner sound.

Helpful Hint: Some television stations transmit a "pilot" signal that
makes your TV think it's receiving stereo, even though the broadcast
signal is monaural. The "pilot" signal will make the stereo indicator
appear on the screen next to the channel number, however, you will not
be able to hear stereo sound. If the stereo indicator appears but you can
not hear stereo sound, check with the television station to inquire
whether the program being broadcast is in stereo or monaural audio.

Receiving SAP Broadcasts

Some TV stations that broadcast stereo also broadcast
another audio program called SAE SAP stands for Second

Audio Program and is sometimes used to broadcast a
second audio track for a bilingual movie.

Because SAP is only available with stereo broadcasts, the
TV's STEREO/SAPfunction must be in the STEREOmode to see

if SAP audio is available. After you have set the
STEREO/SAPfunction to the STEREOmode, your TV will
display the word STEREOnext to the channel number when
stereo audio is being received. If SAP audio is also
available, your TV will display an asterisk (*) after the

word STEREO (STEREO*).

You can then listen to the SAP audio by changing the
STEREO/SAPfunction to its SAPsetting as explained below.

Although SAP audio is transmitted with the 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
electronically 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 stereo 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 Expanded
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 program material.

The perception of greater stereo separation is created by
cancelling the cross-coupled sound from the right 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. As
a result, the speakers seem to be farther away from the TV.

Notes: The Expanded Stereo feature will have no effect unless the
program is broadcast in stereo.
When the Expanded Stereo feature is turned on, some sound will be

heard from each speaker regardless of the BALANCE control setting.
