200ms Phase Sub 0 / 180 Lip Sync This feature is used to delay the audio signal in HDMI signals. The video processing is sometimes slower than audio processing which can lead to that the audio and video signal are not synchronised. The audio signal can be delayed from 0ms to 200ms in steps of 10ms to match the video signal. Tip: It is often most easy to adjust the audio signal to the video signal by looking at lips and listen to when the spoken words is heard. Phase Sub When a subwoofer is connected it is important that the subwoofer and the front speakers play in phase. This means that when the bass driver in the front speakers move outwards the subwoofer moves outwards also. When the subwoofer is placed closely to one of the front speakers the phase should be set to 0 degrees. If the subwoofer is placed far from the front speakers a better bass might be obtained by setting the phase to 180 degrees. Tip: Place the subwoofer and the front loudspeakers in their wanted position. Place yourself in the listening position and play a song with a lot of bass. Then make a friend change the setting back and forth between 0 and 180 degrees. The setting given the most bass it the best setting. System Setup HDMI Under the HDMI setting CEC and ARC can be switched on/off. Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is an HDMI feature which allows one device to be controlled from another device. If the MSU is connected to a TV which supports CEC then volume control can be controlled from the television. Turning on and off the television will also turn on/off the MSU depending on the settings on the television. Audio Return Channel (ARC) is an HDMI feature which allows audio to be sent back from the TV to the MSU through the HDMI output cable from the MSU. When the MSU is connected to a TV with ARC through an HDMI cable the video signal are send to the TV. When watching TV the audio signal is send back through the same HDMI cable to the MSU so the TV sound is played through the MSU instead. This way only one cable is needed between MSU and TV.
