Follow these checks in Audio Fix →

When this guide applies

Audio early, current input identified; manual per-input timing correction.

Connection scope: HDMI / ARC / eARC audio. Symptom: Sound and picture are out of sync.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.

Checks and possible outcomes

Start at step-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.

step-0

Does sound arrive before the matching picture movement?

Additional audio delay can worsen sound already late.

Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.

step-1

Is the intended current input selected?

This setting is stored per input rather than universally for every source.

Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.

step-2

May the current input timing be changed with the original value retained?

The manual says this permanently changes that input setting; keep its original value.

Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.

step-3

Press LIP-SYNC on the supplied remote

Do not change a different input or partner TV setting.

Look for: Perform only the stated operation and confirm whether it was possible.

step-4

Use up/down to try a small audio delay within the documented 500 ms maximum

Compare the same scene; restore the previous value if the result worsens.

Look for: Perform only the stated operation and confirm whether it was possible.

step-5

Is sound closer to the matching picture on that same scene?

A changed number is not a measured synchronisation result.

Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.

Possible result

Checks completed — report what happened

Completion is not an automatic solved result. Report your actual outcome; no Audio Review physical test or measured repair is claimed.

steps completed

Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.

    Possible result

    Stop and retain the actual observations

    A required fact or response was not confirmed. Consult the exact product/partner documentation or official support. Do not escalate to a reset, update installation, internal repair or unsafe wiring change.

    next support

    Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.

      Possible result

      A required fact is unknown

      Confirm the actual model, source, partner capability and current state before continuing. Do not guess a menu or interrupt a live session/update.

      insufficient data

      Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.
