To avoid any latency when watching video, we recommend activating
‘Video Mode’ or ‘Automatic Mode’. This will reduce the number of
taps, a measure of resolution, and in turn, reduce the latency. With the
‘VIDEO’ button o, the video filter will be o, with the button white the
video filter will be on.
We recommend that when you switch back to listening to music that
you deactivate ‘Video Mode’. When the button shows as yellow (music
playback detected) or cyan (video playback detected) the mode is
automatic and will automatically detect whether you are watching a
video or listening to music, not requiring manual intervention.
