Picture and sound are out of sync • As with all products that contain a digital display, this may occur in rare instances when viewing certain content (e.g. television broadcasts, video games, DVDs). Possible causes may include, without limitation, video processing within the TV, video processing in an attached gaming system, and video processing or different compression rates used by broadcasters in their programming. Try the following procedures: - If the TV is connected to an A/V receiver that has a programmable audio delay feature, use this feature to help synchronize the sound to the picture. - If the problem occurs only on certain TV channels, inform your local broadcast, cable, or satellite provider. • The settings of Side Shared Audio and Rear Shared Audio may be not correct.

Set the MTS feature to Stereo mode (- p. 52). • If you connect a PC using either the PC IN terminal or an HDMI terminal, ensure that the Rear Shared Audio setting is properly set (- p. 42). Remote control problems • Ensure the remote control is set to the correct device mode (- p. 79). • Remove all obstructions between the remote control and the TV. • Replace the remote control's batteries (- p. 22). • Your TV's remote control may not operate certain features on your external device. Refer to the owner's manual for your other device to determine its available features. If your TV remote control does not operate a specific feature on another device, use the remote control that came with the device (- p. 82-87). • If the TV still does not act as expected, perform the Reset Factory Defaults procedure (- p. 44). 70
