When selecting the AV Sync

There may be a slight time delay between the video and audio signals in case that some video playback equipments may process the video signals later than the audio signals due to signal processing procedure, etc.. Should this happen, you can adjust the time delay of audio signals to synchronize the sound with the picture.

The time delay can be adjusted within the range of 0 ~ 200 msec.
