Restart your TV: This can often resolve temporary software glitches that might cause sync issues. To restart, press the power button on the remote control for about five seconds. If the TV doesn’t recover, unplug the AC power cord, press the power button on the TV, wait two minutes, and then plug the cord back in.

Audio Delay Setting: Many TVs, including Sony models, have an audio delay setting in the sound menu. You can adjust this setting to fine-tune the audio timing and synchronize it with the picture.
