An A/V lip sync issue - Blu-ray Forum

sycorax82 · 07-20-2008, 01:48 AM

OK, I have a PS3 and a Sony STR-DA3200ES receiver. Whenever I'm using the PS3 I have to change the A/V sync setting on the receiver to around 90ms in order to get the sync right, which is fine EXCEPT when it's receiving PCM signals, then it doesn't work (the manual confirms that it won't do it). This really infuriates me when I want to watch something with lossless or Dolby TrueHD audio because the delay is seriously annoying.

Is there any way of sorting this out? It didn't bother me much initially but now I'm getting more and more Blu-rays and it bugs me that I can't enjoy the quality audio without the delay! Sorry for the newb question...

I just want to know how people get on with sync problems. Is it related to my receiver? Looking at the manual for the STR-DA5300ES it seems the A/V Sync option DOES work for PCM signals (through HDMI, not multi-channel input). That's pretty infuriating. I don't exactly want to replace the receiver I've got.

I have a Sony 5200 ES I use as a pre amp and have a different sync issue(see post HDMI SYNC PROBLEMS). I have never experienced a problem with delay though. How are you sources connected? Have you ever tried swapping cables?

I have HDMI cable going both from my PS3 to my receiver and receiver to TV. There isn't a problem unless I set my PS3 to output Linear PCM through HDMI, which I obviously have to do to get Dolby TrueHD or lossless PCM. Then I can't use the A/V Sync option on the receiver. When I first got my setup somebody told me that the HDMI cable just syncs audio and video itself, but that never happened!
