English Operation

Lip Sync Delay (EXOTIK+DA)

You may find with certain DVD-Videos that the movement of the actors’ lips and the sound are not synchronized. You can correct this on the EXOTIK+DA using the Lip Sync Delay feature.

To adjust Lip Sync Delay:

●Press LIP SYNC on the handset.

●Press / to increase/decrease the delay of the audio signal until the picture and audio are synchronized.

Lip Sync Delay range is from 0 to 250 milliseconds.

Notes:

The setting for Lip Sync Delay is retained for that source.

When adding Lip Sync Delay to an analogue source the audio must be converted from the audio domain to the digital domain and back again. For this reason, the minimum delay that can be applied to an analogue source is 5 milliseconds.

Surround sound formats

The EXOTIK+DA is equipped with a wide range of surround sound formats to enhance your audio/home cinema experience. The only surround sound format available on the standard EXOTIK is Stereo Sub.

To change the surround sound format:

●Repeatedly press SURR on the handset until the desired format is shown on the front panel display.
