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 Home Theater Systems, the audio to video sync is
done automatically and is always correct.
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 switch off Audio Out delay on the TV.

Audio out offset
If you cannot set a delay on the Home Theater System, you can

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.

Digital or similar, set the Audio Out 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
