Lip-Sync Delay (MAIN only):Video can fall out of synchronization with audio for a variety of reasons. The AVM 50’s video processing causes video to be delayed by 24 milliseconds, which is less than the duration of one frame, thus considered synchronized. If for whatever reason audio is heard before the corresponding image is seen, you can set up to 85 milliseconds of audio delay. You can also set delay while watching video – see section 4.9.
Mode Presets (MAIN only):When you or another member of your family uses the AVM 50, the Mode and THX presets that are set here are recalled, ensuring trouble-free operation. The presets are applied whenever a Source is selected or MAIN power is turned on. Each type of program material has a separate setting. Presets do not apply to Sources that are set to Anlg-Dir. If you do not want to have presets, set this to ‘Last Used’.
Use the buttons to highlight one of the lines in the menu, then use the buttons to scroll through the selections. For complete descriptions of surround modes and when to use them, refer to section 4.8.
