[Electronics-talk] audio described TV programming

[Ray Foret Jr]

His point was this.

Because channels are nowadays most commonly switched from a cable or set top box, it's at this source that you need to locate and activate the SAP channel.  In the case of off air anttenas, however, channels either are changed from a set's  tunor directly or a set top box; but, in the case of the box, SAP channel is changed from the box.  IF channels are changed directly on the set, the set's menu structure is where you need to locate the SAP channel.  Usually, this will be found under settings/audio.  You most likely will find it under Spanish.  That's the most common designation for the SAP channel.  However, in the case of some providors, this will be different.  It may be audio A and audio B.

>> You most likely need sighted assistance to turn on the SAP channel from the on-screen menus.  The SAP or Secondary Audio Program channel is normally used buy broadcasters to carry audio-described or DVS programming.  Some analog TV's used to have a dedicated button on the remote to turn SAP on and off, but with digital TV's, you usually have to turn it on and off from one of the set's built-in  on-screen menu. If you use a cable box, you usually have to turn SAP on or off from one of the box's on-screen menus.
