Audio Out delay

With a Home Theatre System (HTS) connected to the
TV, the picture on TV and the sound from the HTS
should be synchronised.

Automatic audio to video sync

With recent Philips Home Theatre Systems, the audio
to video sync is automatically synchronised and
always correct.

Audio sync delay

For some Home Theatre Systems you might need to
adjust the audio sync delay to synchronise the audio
to video. On the HTS, increase the delay value until
there is a match between picture and sound. A delay
value of 180ms may be required. Read the user
manual of the HTS. With a delay value set up on the
HTS, you need to switch off Audio Out delay on the
TV.

Audio Out offset

If you cannot set a delay on the Home Theatre

necessary for the Home Theatre System to process
the sound of the TV picture. You can set the value in
steps of 1ms. Maximum setting is 12ms. The Audio out
delay setting should be switched on.
