1.0 INTRODUCTION
Thanks for purchasing this AP-411 Lip Sync Corrector from the AV Toolbox division of
tvONE. The AP-411 is a compact device used to correct audio/video timing mismatches that
result in the loss of synchronization of the two components of A/V program content. Since
this problem is virtually always caused by the program’s video component arriving after
the audio component, the AP-411 Lip Sync Corrector provides up to 300 milliseconds of
delay for the audio component to restore A/V synchronization to the program material. AV
Toolbox offers a wide range of video, audio and multimedia products.

4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE
Please study the panel drawings below and become familiar with the Signal Input, Output
and Delay Adjustment control locations.
Connect audio inputs from the source equipment to the R and L RCA connectors on the
AP-411. Next, connect the AP-411’s R and L outputs to the destination equipment.
Connect the AC adapter to the AP-411 and then to a working AC power socket.
Lastly, turn on both the source equipment and the destination equipment.
Note: There is no power switch on the AP-411. It will begin to function as soon as power is applied and program content
is present.
5.0 OPERATING THE UNIT
When the program content appears, adjust the delay switch as required to restore
audio/video lip sync. Other than connecting power, connecting the cables to the source
and destination equipment and adjusting the audio delay component, there is no operator
intervention required.

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
In the event that the unit appears to be non-functional, make certain that the AC power
outlet is active for the source and destination equipment as well as the AP-411. Next,
substitute each cable in use with a known good cable to remove that variable.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you use premium cables in order to achieve
maximum distance cable runs and the best performance possible.
After trying the above suggestions should the problem still persist, contact your dealer for
additional suggestions before contacting AV Toolbox. Should the dealer’s technical
