If you have audio on most channels, but have silence on some or all of your local network channels, you may have the Secondary Audio Programming (SAP) turned ON.

• The SAP feature allows your TV, VCR or Digital Cable box to tune in a second “track” of audio programming.
• Not all channels broadcast SAP signals.
• Some channels may not broadcast any sound when the SAP feature is activated. Local network channels are a good example of this.
• Channels that utilize SAP usually transmit the dialogue in a second language (such as Spanish). Some channels transmit other types of audio programming, such as classical music.

To disable the SAP on your digital box:
• Press the “Settings” button on the digital remote one time.
• This will bring you to the “Quick Settings” screen.
• You should see an option on this screen that says either “Disable SAP” or “Choose SAP Language”.
• Highlight the appropriate option using the up or down arrow buttons on your digital remote control.
• If you see the “Disable SAP” option
• Press the “Select” button and your audio should return.
• If you see the “Choose SAP Language” option
• Use the left or right arrow buttons to choose the “English” setting
• Then press the “Select” button and your audio should return.

MTS, Stereo or SAP Problems
• Verify in the program listing guide that the program has those features.
• Check to see if the “MTS”, “STEREO” or “SAP” light on the TV or VCR is on.
• If not, push the “MTS”, “STEREO” or “SAP” button on the TV or VCR.
• Adjust the fine tuning on the TV set to restore the stereo or SAP.
