Audio to video sync
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 Audio Out delay, press hand select S Setup and press OK.
Select TV settings > Sound > Audio Out delay. Select Off and press OK.
Audio Out Offset
If you cannot set a delay on the Home Theatre System, you can set the TV to sync the sound.
To synchronize the sound on the TV, press hand select S Setup and press OK.

To level the difference, press hand select S Setup and press OK.
Select TV settings > Sound > Audio Out levelling.
