Delays may be introduced into the video signal by external video processing equipment which causes a mismatch between the audio and video timing. You will notice this by speech sound being out of synchronisation with the lip movements in the video.

To compensate for this you can adjust the lip sync audio delay. Press SYN and use the34navigation buttons to change the delay. Press SYN again to exit the lip sync function.

This allows you to select the illumination level of the front panel display. Press DISPLAY on the front panel or DIS on the remote to cycle through the settings Off/Dim/Bright.

TRIM

This allows temporary adjustment of the speaker levels. Press TRM to access the OSD ‘Speaker Trims’ menu, using the navigation buttons to adjust the levels required. Press again to exit the trim function. As this is a temporary adjustment, the trim levels are reset to 0 when the unit is turned off or the selected input is changed, but are retained if the unit is put in standby. These temporary trim levels are independent of the ‘Level Settings’ page found in the Setup Menu.
