Lip Sync
The image you see on your screen and the sound
you hear must be properly synchronized. Since
matching the picture with the sound is most
noticeable when actors are speaking, it is often
called
Lip sync
.
Video signals may be delayed when they are pro-
cessed within the DVD player, in an external line
scalar, or in a High Definition TV. An example of
such processing would be the de-interlacing that
converts a 480i (interlaced) signal to a 480p (pro-
gressive scan) signal, or converting a 480p signal
into a 1080i signal. The result is that you will see
the picture a fraction of a second after you hear its
corresponding sound. You can spot even a small
video delay when actors are speaking, and it can be
very annoying.
Our
Lip sync
enables you to adjust and delay the
audio signals to synchronize the sound with the
delayed video signals. Adjustments are made in precise 1 mS (millisecond) steps, up to 150 mS.
You will find the
Lip sync
(shortened to
Lipsync
on the menu page) adjustment on the
Audio
Setup
menu page,
Preset setup
sub-menu page. The
Lip Sync
adjustment is made on the
Preset
page so that you may “preset” five separate Lip Sync settings. Thus you can enjoy
precise correction for as many as five different source components. If you go to the
Source
setup
menu page you can associate a different Preset for sources (or assign the same preset
to more than one source).
Note:
The factory setting for Lipsync is
Off
.
Bass Management
Review:
The original bass management selects the
crossover frequency between the subwoofer and
other speakers (when they are set to “small”) in 10
Hz increments from 40 Hz to 140 Hz.
What’s New
You can now select the crossover frequency in
5 Hz increments from 20 Hz to 200 Hz. With
more crossover frequencies available you may
find a setting where your sub and other speakers
blend together to integrate the overall sound more
“seamlessly.”
New settings for the Subwoofer frequency (abbrevi-
ated as Subwoofer freq.).are made on the
Speaker
setup, Size setup
menu page.
