Changing the lip sync and on-screen display

To adjust the lip sync

The LipSync parameter is a unique feature of the digital surround processor which allows you to adjust the delay between the sound and the video image by up to one video frame.

Most movies are mixed for a viewing distance of 30 feet, and when viewed from 12 feet or less the sound arrives too early, giving a disconcerting effect. Using the LipSync parameter you can add an overall delay to the sound to accommodate your closer home viewing distance.

Many TV broadcasts delay the picture by half a frame, and can benefit from a LipSync setting of 12ms.

LipSync 0

●Press > or < until the display shows:

●Press A or V to change the delay in milliseconds.

You can adjust the delay between 0 and 30ms, where 30ms corresponds to sitting 30 feet further away from the screen.

To change the position of the on-screen display

For each DSP preset you can specify the position of the on-screen display (OSD), or blank the on-screen display altogether.

For example, you may prefer to have the on-screen display at the top of the screen when watching videos, but at the bottom of the screen when listening to music.

●Press > or < until the display shows the current OSD position.

OSD Low

For example:

●Press A or V to change the position.
