Consult your TV’s manual for details. iPod is playing video or slideshow? iPod set to “TV Out”?(For video and slideshow-capable iPod models only)Wireless DelayNOTE: When using Evolve to play video or slideshows with music on your TV or home media center, Grin recommends using either your wired speakers or Evolve's wireless speakers but not both at the same time. If you use both sets of speakers at the same time, you may notice that the sound and the performer's mouth movements are slightly out of sync.Our quality testing shows this time dierence can be most apparent when watching performers sing or talk. This is not a defect with Evolve, your iPod or your home media center. All wireless sound transmission creates a certain amount of delay. Grin has minimized the delay to no more than 20 milliseconds from iPod to speaker. In real-world terms, 20 milliseconds is the time it takes for sound to travel about 23 feet (70˚F/21˚C).For more information, please refer to the Technical Specications, found on page 17.
