adjust the audio sync delay to synchronize 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 turn off Audio Out delay on the TV.

necessary for the Home Theater System to process
the sound of the TV picture. You can set the value in
steps of 5ms. Maximum setting is -60ms. The Audio
Out delay setting should be turned on.

format to Multichannel. With Multichannel, the TV can
send the compressed multichannel sound signal from
a TV channel or connected player to the Home
Theater System. If you have a Home Theater System
without multichannel sound processing, select Stereo.

Audio Out leveling
Use the Audio Out leveling setting to level the volume
(loudness) of the TV and the Home Theater System

differences can be caused by differences in sound
processing.

Leveling.

menu.
Audio Out leveling affects both the Audio Out -
Optical and HDMI ARC sound signals.
Problems with HTS sound
Sound with loud noise
If you watch a video from a plugged in USB flash drive
or connected computer, the sound from your Home
Theater System might be distorted. This noise is heard
when the audio or video file has DTS sound but the
Home Theater System has no DTS sound processing.
You can fix this by setting the Audio Out format of the
TV to Stereo.
Press and select Setup > TV
settings > Sound > Advanced > Audio out format.
No sound
If you cannot hear the sound from the TV on your
Home Theater System, check the following . . .
• Check if you connected the HDMI cable to an HDMI
ARC connection on the Home Theater System. All
HDMI connections on the TV are HDMI ARC
connections.
• Check if the HDMI ARC setting on the TV is turned
On.
Press and select Setup > TV
settings > Sound > Advanced > HDMI ARC.
