SECONDARY AUDIO PROGRAMMING (SAP) / ALTERNATE AUDIO

Secondary Audio Programming (SAP) enables you to watch particular programs in an alternate language such as Spanish, French, German and more! All DISH Network receivers offer the Alternate Audio feature…just keep in mind alternate audio is only available for particular programs. Some programs, such as movies, show at the start whether an alternate language is available. Pay-Per-View movies which offer Alternate Audio will have "SAP" in the Program Information screen.

To activate Alternate Audio/SAP, follow these five easy steps:

  • Press the MENU button on your remote control.
  • Select the SYSTEM SETUP option in the Main Menu.
  • Select the ALTERNATE AUDIO option.
  • Select a language in the Languages list. (Note: If the program is broadcast in an unlisted language, select the ALTERNATE option to hear that language. If the program is broadcast only in the listed languages, select the ALTNERATE option to hear English.)
  • Select the SAVE option to save your choice.

 

Note: Alternate languages apply only to the audio part of a program and do not change the language used in the receiver menus.
