[Electronics-Talk] Spectrum 110 Cable Box for Peter

[Christopher Gilland]

Bear in mind that not all programs support the SAP, (Secondary Audio 
Presentation), recording. If this happens, one of two things will occur.


More often than not, you will get the exact same audio as if you had hit 
nothing at all to turn on the DVS. At least with the box I'm using, this 
can easily be toggled by pressing A, which is a little yellow triangular 
button on the remote, fifth down from the very top left, then the number 
2. On newer remotes that went with the Spectrum Guide 2.0 boxes, there 
is no A button. It now has become the Options button. It's not a 
triangle but is in the same place. If you find on those remotes, the 
menu button right below the down arrow key, one button to the left of 
that is options. Hit that then the number 2. It's kind a like hitting 
Options then 3 to toggle on/off guide narration. Only difference is 
options 1 is close  caption, option 2 is DVS, and option 3 is narration 
speech.


Anyway, getting back to the whole SAP ordeal, I've only had this happen 
once, but I'm curious if this may be what's happening here with the 
volume. When turning DVS/SAP, on, call it what you will, either/or, I'm 
wondering if you've gotten a program which not only doesn't support SAP 
audio, but further, it supports *no!* audio. Meaning, if you turn on 
SAP, you'll get absolutely nothing at all as far as audio goes. It'll be 
as if your TV is muted.


The other day on the Golf channel, there was a ternimant going, and this 
is precisely what happened. I was trying for almost 20 minutes to figure 
out what in the world was going on. Finally it downed on me.


Chris.
