Audio lag fixed. Sort of.

I find the documentation for my home theater a little confusing. Nevertheless, I discovered that I just have to press the Audio Sync button on the remote and then use the volume control on the remote to change the delay value. Here is something important that I can no longer verify. It seems as if this value is set to something other than 0 (zero) by default. Probably 100, right in the middle. Therefore when you first connect the TV or whatever other digital input you have there is a lag. I pretty much had to set it to 0 to get good syncing. It is still not perfect, however. And I hope I don't have to adjust it again.

Digital audio sync problem

This is not necessarily a problem with my HTS3544, but this issue somewhat limits the use for digital audio inputs - the video signal is not synced with the digital audio. My Philips home theater has a sync setting, but I am not sure if it is only meant to be active while playing DVDs. I think that the TV should have some syncing mechanism. What's worse, it appears that the amount of correction needed changes from time to time. In my experience, the video and audio became so out of sync that I had to eventually resort to using my TV's speakers.
