sonal video recorders. With proper adjustment of
the setting for A/V Sync Delay, you can eliminate
the loss of lip sync that may be caused by digital
video applications.
Although EzSet+ calculates the delay settings for
the individual speaker positions with very accu-
rate results, the setting for A/V Sync Delay may
only be done manually, since it requires that you
observe the program material on your video dis-
play while adjusting the delay, if any, required for
the specific source. Thus, even though you may
have used EzSet+ for other delay settings, the A/V
Sync Delay should still be configured as outlined
below.
To re-synchronize the front, center and surround
channels at first measure and note the distance
from the listening/viewing position to the front,
center, surround and surround back (if any)
speakers in meters.
The Delay setting for all speakers configured for
your system will be available only (with 5.1 or
with 6.1/7.1 configuration) when any Dolby sur-
round mode is selected (except Dolby-3-Stereo).
In addition they are selectable with these modes
only, with all other modes the delay times are
fixed. Note that the Delay settings are "Global"
for all inputs, using those Dolby modes, and need
not to be repeated with any input.
To start with the delay settings at first select any
input associated with such a Dolby mode. Next,
continue within the MASTER M E N U
(Figure 1). If the system is not already at that
point, press the OSD button L to bring up the

However, if you have a digital video source or a
digital video display that causes lack of lip sync
you may use the A/V Sync adjust feature to delay
the audio signal as it is sent to all channels (as
opposed to the individual settings) so that the
picture and sound are brought back together. We
recommend that this adjustment be made using
the direct access controls on the remote, as
shown below. That enables you to see the image
while making the adjustment; however, you may
also adjust it here using the menu system.
To adjust the A/V Sync delay, press the
Navigation Button D so that the © cursor is
