Audio to video synchronisation (sync)

Audio Out delay

With a Home Theatre System (HTS) connected to the TV, the picture on TV and the sound from the HTS should be synchronised. A mismatch can be visible in scenes with people talking - when they finish sentences before their lips stop moving or just the opposite.

Automatic audio to video sync

With recent Philips Home Theatre Systems, the audio to video sync is automatically synchronised and always correct.

Audio sync delay

For some Home Theatre Systems you might need to adjust the audio sync delay to synchronise the audio to 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.

To switch off the Audio Out delay . . .

1 - Press hand select S Setup and press OK.

2 - Select TV settings > Sound > Advanced > Audio Out delay.

3 - Select Off and press OK.

4 - Press b, repeatedly if necessary, to close the menu.

Audio Out offset

If you cannot set a delay on the Home Theatre System, you can set the TV to sync the sound. You can set an offset that compensates the time necessary for the Home Theatre System to process the sound of the TV picture. You can set the value in steps of 5ms. Maximum setting is -60ms. The Audio Out delay setting should be switched on.

To synchronise the sound on the TV . . .

1 - Press hand select S Setup and press OK.

2 - Select TV settings > Sound > Advanced > Audio Out offset.

Audio Out format

If you have a Home Theatre System (HTS) with multichannel sound processing capabilities like Dolby Digital, DTS® 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 Theatre System. If you have a Home Theatre System without multichannel sound processing, select Stereo.

To set the Audio Out format . . .

1 - Press hand select S Setup and press OK.

2 - Select TV settings > Sound > Advanced > Audio Out format.

3- Select Multichannel or Stereo.

4- Press b, repeatedly if necessary, to close the menu.

Audio Out leveling

Use the Audio Out leveling setting to level the volume (loudness) of the TV and the Home Theatre System when you switch over from one to another. Volume differences can be caused by differences in sound processing.

To level the difference in volume . . .

1 - Press hand select S Setup and press OK.

2 - Select TV settings > Sound > Advanced > Audio Out leveling.

3 - If the volume difference is large, select More. If the volume difference is small, select Less.

4 - Press b, repeatedly if necessary, to close the menu.

Audio Out leveling affects both the Audio Out - Optical and HDMI-ARC sound signals.

Troubleshooting

Sound with loud noise

If you watch a video from a plugged in USB flash drive or connected computer, the sound from your Home Theatre System might be distorted. This noise is there when the audio or video file has DTS sound but the Home Theatre System has no DTS sound processing. You can fix this by setting the Audio Out format of the TV to Stereo. Go to Home > Setup > TV settings > Sound > Advanced > Audio Out format

No sound

If you cannot hear the sound from the TV on your Home Theatre System, check the following . . .

•Check if you connected the HDMI cable to a HDMI ARC connection on the Home Theatre System. All HDMI connections on the TV are HDMI ARC connections.

•Check if the HDMI ARC setting on the TV is switched On. Go to Home > Setup > TV settings > Sound > Advanced >
