This normally works well but there can be issues when a TV doesn’t correctly identify its
capabilities. Issues can also occur when using other devices in the chain such as an AV
Receiver, Sound Bar or HDMI splitter. If necessary you can manually change the mode:
Surround:
Passes through and outputs surround sound when available and stereo
when not. This mode is often also called ‘Passthrough’.
Stereo PCM:
Always outputs stereo sound. For HD programmes with surround sound
it is converted to stereo.
Lip-Sync Delay
Sometimes when using external audio equipment the audio can be heard early and out of
sync with the video. To fix this you can set a delay for the audio of up to 250ms.
Accessibility & Language
While watching TV you can turn Subtitles or Audio Description on or off by pressing the
S/AD button and selecting an on-screen option. The ‘Accessibility & Language’ menu also
has these options as well as additional options to:
• Choose your preferred Audio and Subtitle languages
• Adjust the Audio Description mix
Recording & Playback

Please note that changing this setting does not affect existing scheduled recordings.
