Audio Out delay
With a Home Theater System (HTS) connected to the
TV, the picture on the TV and the sound from the HTS
should be synchronized.
Automatic audio to video sync
With recent Philips Home Theater Systems, the audio
to video sync is done automatically.
Audio sync delay
For some Home Theater Systems you may need to
adjust the audio sync delay to synchronize the audio
to the 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 turn off Audio Out delay on the TV.

Audio Out offset
If you cannot set a delay on the Home Theater
System, you can set the TV to sync the sound. You
can set an offset that compensates for the time
necessary for the Home Theater System to process
the sound of the TV picture. You can set the value in
steps of 5ms. Maximum setting is -60ms. The Audio
Out delay setting should be turned on.

format to Multichannel. With Multichannel, the TV can
send the compressed multichannel sound signal from
a TV channel or connected player to the Home
Theater System. If you have a Home Theater System
without multichannel sound processing, select Stereo.
