That would indicate that the MTS mode on your unit is set to SAP mode. We suggest
setting the MTS mode to either Stereo or Mono . For further instruction, please see
Audio Adjust or MTS/SAP in your user manual.
SAP is Second Audio Program. It’s a second audio channel that is usually used for a
second language or descriptive audio for the visually impaired.
MTS stands for Multichannel Television Sound, a standard that allows the encoding
of 3 channels of audio within a standard NTSC (analog) video signal to a television.
A television that is able to receive MTS Stereo allows you to watch television with
stereo sound.
