Getting Spanish Audio On RTV6?

What to do when you hear audio other than English on ABC and WRTV programming:

It is possible that without realizing, your TV is programmed to receive SAP or Second Audio Program audio. When this happens, your TV responds like this: when SAP is not being broadcast, you'll receive regular program audio. However, when the SAP audio is sent along with the regular, (English) program audio, your TV will automatically switch to the SAP channel. You'll know your TV is programmed to receive SAP because you'll hear the commercials in English and any other program in English if the SAP is not being sent. ABC sends SAP audio with many of their prime-time programs.

Since you're probably receiving SAP without knowingly programming your TV to receive it, there is probably a button on your remote control that was inadvertently pressed which put you into the SAP mode. With the hundreds of different TV configurations it is almost impossible to tell you exactly how to set your TV for regular audio but you can look for a button on your remote which maybe labeled Audio Select, MTS or SAP. If you find one of these buttons, press it until the text on your TV displays either Main or Stereo. This should disable the SAP channel programming. Sometimes, the control for SAP is in a menu function, (the new Sony TVs are this way), in which case you should press the Menu button and look for an "Audio" section.

If all else fails, check your owner's manual. It should have specific instructions on how to disable the SAP channel.

We hope this helps. The fix should only be a button press away.
