Sound delay

14 replies

Hello, 

 Hope someone can help with the sound problem , I have a bv5  and is m/l to a bs3000 and beolab 6000, as I am not using the surround outputs on the bv5 and just press list  /av  on the beo4 and get the tv sound thru the beolab 6000! Only issue is it seems to have a slight sound delay when watching I.e film/ DVD/sky is this due to bv5 being fitted with surround module , as when used with my bv3 (no surround mod fitted) it is perfect no probs

Is there any fix for this,  I get no problems when playing music thru the system the same way as above ,

Only when watching film/DVD etc

 

Thanks for any info you kind folks have 😁

Short answer is - connect the BL6000 to BV5 (which by the way makes it easier to handle the sound).

This is to do with the sound delay to sync with the picture on the TV when the video is processed for the screen. Sound is easier to process and quicker so has to be delayed to sync. (my simple version of the process)

There was quite a lot about that issue in the old forums. (google search Beovision sound delay) - but rest assured it is nothing to do with the surround module :o)

The best thing is to connect the speakers to the TV rather than the BS3000 and then they will play fine for your video sources. When you use your BS3000 to play CDs etc there won't be a delay when played through the TV (as there is no video to process). You can then use the BV5 speakers and the BL6000s for music.

You'll need to set up the speakers in the BV5 "sound" menu to tell the TV the speakers are attached (BL6000 will be on the list) and you will probably have to change the "option" on the TV and BS3000. You may have to add something to the Beo4.

My BV5 has 4 Beolab Pentas attached, DVD2 and a BS9000. When you press DTV it plays through all speakers, BS9000 does not turn on. When you press DVD it is the same, all speakers work and BS9000 does not turn on. Press CD or Radio and the BS9000 turns on and all speakers work (inc TV speaker - TV light goes green but screen does not turn on).

Thanks , will connect 6000 to tv as rears and see how it goes, 

Many thanks, it's great to have this site with such a knowledge base!

Don't forget - you will have to configure 'Audio-default' as speaker 4 (or even 5), unless you want to chooe it manually eery time.

Yes, the problem was that when you were listening to music I.e cd you were only getting sound from the bl6000 and nothing from the bv5 speakers!! Even when the bl6000 were connected to the bv5 , no issues with sound when watching DVD/sky only when you where listening to cd/radio/aux on the bs3000

What was required was , you have to activate the bv5 speaker thru the list button on the beo4 till  "speaker" appears  then pressing 3 , it allows all speakers to work .
