To adjust the LipSync
The LipSync parameter is a feature originated by
Meridian that allows you to adjust the delay between
the sound and the video image by up to 50ms, or up to
85ms if Meridian Room Correction is not being used.
Most movies are mixed for a viewing distance of 9m
(30'), and when viewed from 3.6m (12') or less the
sound arrives too early, giving a disconcerting effect.
Using the LipSync parameter you can add an overall
delay to the sound to accommodate your closer home
viewing distance.
Many TV broadcasts delay the picture by half a frame,
and can benefit from a LipSync setting of 12ms.
Note: The LipSync setting is associated with a source
rather than a DSP preset. The value set here will be
applied whenever that source is selected, whatever the
DSP preset.
• Press > or < until the display shows the current
LipSync.
For example:
• Press A or V to change the delay in milliseconds.
You can adjust the delay between 0 and 85ms, where
30ms corresponds to sitting 9m (30') further away
from the screen.
