FAQs & How-Tos

  • Audio is out of sync with devices.
    Check to see if it happens with all source devices (TV, BluRay, DVD, etc.). If it only happens with one device and not the other, the issue may be with that device. Make sure you do not have any HDMI adapters or splitters. These can cause issues with video and audio.

    Sorry, this is not possible.
  • Can I connect 2 separate devices to the SB 250 AUX and optical Inputs?
    SB 250 will only pass one connection at a time. If two connections are playing at the same time, then the optical device will take priority.
