Audio to video sync
With a Home Theatre System (HTS) connected to the TV,
the picture on TV and the sound from the HTS should be
synchronised. A mismatch can be visible in scenes with people
talking - when they finish sentences before their lips stop
moving or just the opposite.
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. To switch off Audio Out delay,
