to block access to programs that exceed the rating limits you set.

To listen to stereo sound:

Note :
A second audio program (SAP) can be
heard only on those TV stations that offer it.
For example, a station might broadcast
music as a second audio program. If you
have SAP on, you will see the current
program on the screen but hear music
instead of the program’s normal audio.
MTS STEREO
Each time you press the button, Stereo, SAP or Mono mode is selected
in order.
However, if you have SAP on, and the
station you are watching is not currently
broadcasting a second audio program, you
will see the picture but not hear any sound. If
this happens, put the TV in STEREO mode
so you can hear the station’s normal audio.
You can leave your TV in STEREO mode because it will automatically
output the type of sound being broadcast (stereo or monaural).
If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise.
To listen to SAP (if available):
Press MTS on the remote control
