I feel like I'm stuck in the mud on a couple of these installs lately, jeez....

An old friend just moved into a new house and I installed a mix of old and new equipment. There is a sync issue that is on his basement system that consists of a Sharp LC-70LE744, Sony STRDA5400ES, Sony BDPS570, and Comcast Motorola DCT or DCH3410 cable box.

The delay is very noticeable with blu rays or dvds. The cable box is good and bad depending on channel. But even watching on the same channel for a while there seems to be variation.

It's just a basic setup in cabinetry, HDMI in to the receiver, then to TV. I don't work with too many Sharps and rarely a Sony receiver but I have turned off most any 'extra' settings I could see.

I didn't goof with any wireless for the TV because he just moved in, but I was thinking about checking/updating firmware on the TV as well as running separate optical or digital coax for his sources.

Ideas? (sorry to be so needy :)

Known problem on ALL the Sharp TV since the first Quattron model...

If your receiver does not have an adjustable lip sync delay just like the Integra do, the only way will be to get run all the HDMis to the tv and a Toslink to the receiver...

You can't believe how happy I am to read your thread, As I aleays thought I was the only one complaining about that... Even at Sharp tech support they called me crazy...

Also try turning off any kind of video processing within the Sharp. That can delay the video a good amount, thus you'll hear the words from the AVR before they move their lips on the screen.

Sorry I forgot to mention, they may have a game mode setting that helps with this delay as well.

Cubitus, glad I could share in your pain :) not!

I was going to go back out there regardless to play around with it. On the plus side for me, either he or his three year old apparently bounced something at the screen on his new 39" Toshiba on the main floor and it is trashed I guess. So I will swap that out while I'm at it, and get a new broken TV, for some parts, yay!

Dipdog, I believe I turned off all the video processing on the TV, but I will definitely double check. Also, I'm assuming you mean Game mode on the TV, not the receiver. (though I will mess with both)

Thanks!
