2 DELAY BOX 3 DELAY BOX INTRODUCTION Modern displays, such as plasma screens, LCD screens and projectors use sophisticated imaging processors to produce the best picture possible. This processing takes time and produces a delay in the picture display. In bad cases sound can be heard before the image. This is called a lip-sync error. Welcome to the Primare Delay Box The Primare Delay Box corrects lip sync errors in home cinema systems by using a digital audio (S/PDIF) signal. The Primare Delay Box is connected between the digital audio (S/PDIF) of your DVD (or similar). The unit delays the digital audio signal by a time of your choice. This results in a perfect sound and picture synchronisation. Intuitive user inter face In keeping with the philosophy of the Primare range of systems, the Delay Box can be controlled through a very simple and intuitive set of front panel controls. Alternatively all the functions of the Delay box can be controlled by the Remote Control supplied with the Delay box. Technical per formance The Delay Box is is capable of full conversion between a coax and an optical signal. E. g. any input signal to coax will be available from both outputs (coax and TOSlink), as any input signal to TOSlink will be available from both outputs. You choose the type of input signal that will be available by means of button 1 and 2 on the front panel. Note! No conversion is carried out when the delay box is in BYPASS mode.
