Some Sound Advice
You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the MTS menu screen. Unfortunately, while many programs are originally broadcast in stereo, some cable companies may �squash� the transmission to mono sound because they have only mono equipment. If you are connected to a cable system, the sound quality is determined by the cable company. If they broadcast only in mono, you will receive only mono sound, even if the program was aired in stereo. Fortunately, most stereo programs are broadcast by the major television networks. If you connect an antenna to your TV instead of cable and set the tuner mode in Auto Tuner Setup to �Air� instead of �Cable� you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in their original stereo format.
