Basic Operations 07 English Using the POD service If you have watched digital and/or High Definition TV channels over cable, you can use the POD service provided by the cable TV company. This service presents various types of useful information, using HTML text. Setting MTS/SAP mode When watching conventional TV programs, you may enjoy stereo sound and/or Secondary Audio Programs (SAP), using the Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS) function. • Stereo broadcasts You can enjoy, for example, sports, shows, and concerts in dynamic stereo sound. • SAP broadcasts MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in mono or stereo). SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplementary commentary and other information. (SAP is mono sound.) Press HOME MENU, 9, 9, then 9 to view the POD display. • If you have enabled data acquisition using the menu, POD information is automatically acquired even when the system is in the standby mode. See page 32. Changing the language If you have selected a digital TV program that provides multilanguage services, you can switch among the languages by pressing MTS on the remote control unit. • Conventional TV channels in this manual designate TV channels that are received through the conventional VHF/UHF frequencies or conventional cable TV channels. • When stereo sound is difficult to hear, you may manually switch to the MONO mode to obtain clearer sound. • Once the MONO mode is selected, the Plasma Display System sound remains mono even if the system receives a stereo broadcast.
