Video and audio are out of sync
•
If your TV is connected to an audio/video (A/V) receiver or home theatre system via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack, read the
following information.
If you've connected a component to your A/V receiver, such as a DVD player or satellite receiver, you may experience a slight delay
between the audio heard and the video seen. This occurs because the digital audio is sent directly to the speakers while the video
must be processed inside the TV before it is displayed.
•
If the component has Component Video (Y, Pb, Pr) jacks, connect these jacks tot he TV's Y, Pb, Pr jacks to minimize the
discrepancy. This works best if the component supports Progressive Scan technology.
•
If necessary, you can connect the component directly to the TV using L/R audio jacks and bypassing the A/V receiver or you can
program an audio delay in the A/V receiver so the audio and video match up (not all audio equipment has the ability to
program delays). Check the Audio/Video Receiver's manual.
