I recently bought the TV.  It's great ... but I don't seem to be able to get the picture and sound in sync.

It's a very basic function of a TV to show synchronised picture and sound - so this is frustrating, and it can get annoying to watch (e.g. on close-up's of people talking).

 

There's a function to DELAY the sound ... which would be great, but the sound is already being delayed by the TV ... so I'd like to know how to delay the PICTURE instead?  (Or to have a negative delay for the sound).

 

I contacted Samsung via their website 6 weeks ago.  Got an auto-reply email saying "... a member of our helpful support team will be in contact with you shortly...".  Nothing happened.  I replied to Samsung's auto-reply email 2 weeks ago to ask where my support is.  Still nothing from Samsung!

 

Any ideas, please..?

Thanks for your comment Pip4.

I'm surprised that a reset actually helped with this issue at all, but I'm glad it did for you for a while, at least.

I wish Samsung would be less complacent and more customer-focussed.  After all, each dissatisfied customer = future sales lost!

In my case, it is only the "Bluetooth" that delays the sound, I have tried it with cheap and expensive headphones both fail.

However I have bought an optical converter that plugs into the  Digital Audio Out (Optical) port on my TV.  This in turn has an old fasion "Headphone" sockect which I use to connect an old fasion "wireless" headphone (not bluetooth) transmitter and wireless headphones.

No lag, stupid yes but no lag.

Hey @JohnB1

 

It seems the best solution to this issue (I have too) is to sell the Samsung TV and pickup an LG TV.

 

LG TV's allow negative audio delay... not just a positive value.

I've had the same problem.  I got it resolved.  When you connect soundbar to hdmi arc port, the sound bar audio delay default for some reason is set to 300.  You can change that setting by hitting the setting button on your sound bar remote 3 times.  It will say audio sync and you will see 300 when you press up direction on the sound bar remote (you need to press up or down button on the remote pretty fast or it will exit the sound sync menu).  I've set mine to 0 and my audio on my TV to bitstream, and Dolby digital and audio delay to 0 and now everything is in sync.  I hope this helps.

You know what didn't have this issue? My 15 year old TV.

I'll never buy a samsung tv again.
