Sony HT-S2000: use the available A/V Sync control for sound arriving before the picture
Sony HT-S2000 — use the available A/V Sync control for sound arriving before the picture. Confirm the actual setup and observed response before reporting an outcome.
Manufacturer-documented Reviewed 2026-11-09 · Revision 1
Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Known current HDMI TV path with early audio; app timing control actually available.
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 the sound arrive before the matching picture movement?
Adding audio delay can worsen sound already late.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Is A/V Sync available for the actual current HDMI path in the app?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-1
Is A/V Sync available for the actual current HDMI path in the app?
An absent or restricted setting is not replaced with a guessed menu.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → May the original value be retained before a small manual trial?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-2
May the original value be retained before a small manual trial?
Keep the same scene and restore the old value if worse.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Increase audio delay slightly using the actual A/V Sync control
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-3
Increase audio delay slightly using the actual A/V Sync control
Stay within the displayed choices; no undocumented range or partner-TV sync feature is assumed.
Look for: Perform only the stated operation and confirm whether it was possible.
- If Yes / confirmed → Is the same scene now closer to synchronisation?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-4
Is the same scene now closer to synchronisation?
A changed setting is not a measured timing result.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Checks completed — report what happened
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

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.

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.
