IMPORTANT: This article applies only to specific products and/or operating systems. Check Applicable Products and Categories for details.

If the Soundbar audio is out of sync with the image from your source device (Blu-ray Disc™ player, cable box, game console, or similar device), follow the instructions corresponding to your source device connection.

The source device is connected to the Soundbar with an HDMI® cable

If the Soundbar has a SYNC (A/V sync) function, adjust the setting and see if the issue improves.
If model-specific information is required, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the product. Manuals are posted on your model support page.

The source device is connected to the TV with an HDMI cable, or the audio source is output from the TV

• If your TV has a function that delays the image, adjust the setting. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your TV.
  Hint: If your TV is a BRAVIA, change the A/V sync setting from Auto to Off or On.

• If your Soundbar has an HDMI terminal, connect the source device directly to the Soundbar using an HDMI cable. For details on the connection method, refer to the Soundbar Startup Guide. Manuals are posted on your model support page.

  Note: If you want to connect several devices to the Soundbar and the number of HDMI ports is insufficient, connect the source device that delays the sound to the Soundbar first. If no more HDMI ports are available on the Soundbar, connect your other devices to the HDMI ports on the TV.
