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. Unfortunately, it is common for some cable companies to squash the transmission of stereo programs to mono because they only have mono equipment. If connected to a cable system, the sound is at the mercy of that cable company ??? if they broadcast in mono, you receive mono sound regardless of the original stereo programming.

Fortunately, most programs that are broadcast in stereo are aired on the major television networks. If you connect your TV to an antenna instead of cable, and set the tuner mode in the Auto Tuner Setup to ???Air??? instead of ???Cable,??? you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in stereo.
