Reference
Select to suit the type of equipment you connected to the HDMI AV OUT
terminal.
Select “Bitstream” when the equipment can decode the bitstream (digital
form of 5.1-channel data). Otherwise, select “PCM”.
(If the bitstream is output to the equipment without a decoder, high levels
of noise can be output and may damage your speakers and hearing.)
Digital Output
When audio output is from HDMI AV OUT terminal, and the connected
equipment does not support the item selected, the actual output will
depend on the performance of this connected equipment.
Time Delay
When connected with a Plasma display, adjust if you notice the audio is
out of sync with the video.
≥ 0ms/Auto
≥ 20ms ≥ 40ms ≥ 60ms
≥ 80ms ≥ 100ms
When using VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” with “HDAVI Control 3 or later”
compatible TV (B 14), select “0ms/Auto”.
Audio and video will automatically be set in sync.
Video Resolution
This works only when the HDMI connection is being used.

≥ 1080i ≥ 1080p
Ensure that your TV can support the resolution that you choose.
If a message screen appears, confirm your selection by pressing
[2, 1]8 to select “Yes” and press [OK]8. If the picture is distorted, wait
for 15 seconds or press [2, 1]8 to select “No”. To accept the setting,

Speaker Settings
Select the delay time of the speakers.
(Effective only when “Surround layout (Recommended)” mode is selected
in “Speaker layout” (B 8, Easy setup).)
(Center and surround speakers only)
For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for
the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position.
If you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating
position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.
If either distance a or b is less than c, find the difference in the table
and change to the recommended setting.
