Home Theatre System - HTS

Connect with HDMI ARC

Use an HDMI cable to connect a Home Theatre System (HTS)
to the TV. You can connect a Philips Soundbar or an HTS with a
built-in disc player.
HDMI ARC
If your Home Theatre System has an HDMI ARC connection,
you can use any HDMI connection on the TV to connect. With
HDMI ARC, you do not need to connect the extra audio cable.
The HDMI ARC connection combines both signals.
All HDMI connections on the TV can offer the Audio Return
Channel (ARC) signal. But once you have connected the Home
Theatre System, the TV can only send the ARC signal to this
HDMI connection.
Audio to video synchronisation (sync)
If the sound does not match the video on screen, you can set a
delay on most Home Theatre Systems with a disc player to
match the sound with the video.
For more information, press the colour key Keywords and
look up Audio to Video Sync.

If the Home Theatre System has no HDMI ARC connection,
add an optical audio cable (Toslink) to send the sound of the TV
picture to the Home Theatre System.
Audio to video synchronisation (sync)
If the sound does not match the video on screen, you can set a
delay on most Home Theatre Systems with a disc player to
match the sound with the video.

Audio Out Settings

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.
Automatic audio to video sync
With recent Philips Home Theatre Systems, the audio to video
sync is done automatically 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 the 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 and press (left) for Setup.
2 - Click Sound > Advanced and click Audio Out Delay.
3 - Click Off.
4 - Press BACK repeatedly if necessary, to close the menu.
