recording.

SAP:
Records sound of the SAP channel only in stereo.
Notes
• When you select the manual rate of the picture quality
between 3.0 and 3.8 and set this mode to “Main” or “SAP”,
the picture quality may become lower than when you set
this mode to “Off”.
• You can change the setting from Quick Menu.
