You will hear the sound that is sent from your
WiiU console to your TV after it has been
processed by your TV. The processing time can
result in a delay, which may cause you to hear a
slight lag in the sound.
This does not mean that your WiiU console,
software or TV is broken.
Please be aware of the following:
Depending on your TV, you may be able to reduce
the audio delay by changing the settings to "Game
Mode" or something similar. For more information
please refer to your TV's operations manual.
You may also find commercially available active
speakers or other AV hardware to help in
preventing audio delay.
Preventing Audio Delay
▼ If your WiiU console and TV are connected using
a Wii AV cable* via the AV Multi Out connector,
connect the audio equipment directly via the audio
ports (red and white) only, leaving the Video plug
(the yellow plug when using a Wii AV cable)
connected to your TV.
❶ Wii AV cable (sold separately)
・ If you own a Wii console, you can use the same
cable you used with it.
❷ A commercially available connection
adapter
・ Only necessary if ① and ③ cannot connect to each
other directly.
❸ A commercially available speaker system
When your WiiU console and TV are connected via the
HDMI™ port
Connecting Active Speakers (Example)

* A Wii RGB cable or Wii Component Video cable
can be used instead of a Wii AV cable.
Please note that it will not be possible to
connect external speakers if your WiiU is
connected to your TV using a Wii RGB cable.
▼ If your WiiU console and TV are connected using
an HDMI cable, use the WiiU AV Multi Out
connector at the same time (please see the
connection example above) and connect only the
Audio plugs (red and white) directly to the audio
equipment.
It is not necessary to connect the Video plug to
the analogue port on your TV.
In order to optimise the connection, it is necessary
to change the software settings to External
Speaker Mode*. This can be done by accessing
the Wii Karaoke U by JOYSOUND main menu.
Select MORE MODES then touch
OPTIONS and SWITCH AUDIO OUTPUT MODE,
and activate External Speaker Mode.
* Your TV will no longer output sound once you
have changed the software settings to External
Speaker Mode. Reset the settings to have your
TV output sound again.
* Changing Wii Karaoke U by JOYSOUND settings
to External Speaker Mode will only affect this
software. Other software that is not set to
External Speaker Mode will continue to output
sound through the TV connected to your
console via the HDMI port.
・ Please read the on-screen information carefully
when changing settings.
