[Electronics-talk] turning on SAP

[Gerald Levy]

SAP stands for Secondary Audio Program and is a subchannel used to carry 
foreign language or descriptive audio in addition to the regular soundtrack. 
All stereo TV's, DVR's and DTV converter boxes  have built-in SAP decoders, 
which can often be activated by a dedicated button on the remote control. 
However, if the set is connected to a cable system  via a converter box, 
then the SAP subchannel is usually accessible only through a series of 
on-screen menus that may require sighted assistance to navigate.
