How do I get the stereo sound through my tv so when I am watching my tv stations I get stereo?

there is "headphone" socket in your laptop & there is "audio input" in your tv, u need to connect both to get sound. u need a connector which has stereo jack pin at one end & 2 RCA pins at other end. please find out these sockets on laptop & tv & then buy the connector.

Most TV stations you watch don't send a surround sound mix so you won't get anything in the back speakers. DVDs generally all have a surround mix which is why it sends to all speakers. What you are experiencing is normal, Bob.

Turn off TV. Turn on TV, use remote to turn off SAP. Now I have sound on all stations.

YOU ARE IN SAP MODE. IF THERE IS NO SECOND AUDIO PROGRAM ON THE STATION YOU ARE WATCHING YOU WILL GET NO AUDIO. SWITCH SAP TO STEREO OR MONO. SOME REMOTES HAVE A MTS BUTTON ON THEM.

You may have to set the TV output to stereo or matrix out. Also if the stations are not in stereo or surround it will not play in surround.
If you are connecting to a cable or satellite box and you are just using the coaxial input to the TV you may not get stereo. Some cable companies only send mono signal through the coax and you need to connect the tv to the box using component cables and the R and L audio connections.
There may also be settings in the receiver that you have to adjust to get surround from the TV.
You could connect the audio out directly to the receiver instead of the TV and just use the receiver for TV sound.

Hope this helps

Go to tv setup in the tv menu and turn off the SAP.

All the above connected method is correct. Need to change the option in the stereo system as md or auillary depends upon the model. Go through user manual for stereo system.

have you checked the connections and what is hooked up to the tv do you use a receiver or surround station to produce sound and did this just happen? please more info.

Option called SAP has been activated.....in audio menu...
select stereo, not Second Audio Program................T.

The mono/stereo is an indicator of the audio signal that the TV is outputing. Like most car radios, they have an indicator that tells you when a station in coming in clear, which may be just an LED or a light. When the signal is weak or when your on a non-stereo station the indicator will not be on. What signal are you providing to the TV? Cable, OTA, STB output??? low RF signal level could be the cause for this.
