Sound delay? (1 Viewer)

John Hibberd · Sep 29, 2014

Hi Guys

Hope you can help guys as this is driving me nuts!!!!

I have a Harman/Karman AVR 134 amp with a blu ray player attached. Using the speaker set up for my home theatre, there is a noticeabe delay with sound. Its gets really annoying when lips aren't in sync with the voice! If I turn down the amp and just use the volume and TV speaker on the TV the delay is gone so I know its not the Blu ray player.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for that but that article talks about sound being in front of the lips movement (if that makes sense) and my problem is a delay.

You do have the volume on the TV turned off, yes.

How is all this connected?

Blu ray player to amp via HDMI and Coax. Amp to TV via HDMI and yes sound is off at the TV.

My only thing to check...Is the AVR in "direct", or are you using some extra sound mode?Wanted to make sure you were using something other than analog(red/white).That was the biggest issue with early bargain AVR. They didn't take audio off the HDMI. So, there is no lip sync available.I would advise retiring this one.

Also...It can be the player if it can't sync HDMI and coax.Assuming it has component video...have you tried it?(just to see if a sync issue is still there)As a side note. Have you tried bypassing the HDMI on the AVR? Since...technically, there is no reason to use.

One other thing to check in the player - make sure "Secondary Audio" is turned off. If secondary audio is turned on, then the player does a lot of audio processing to "fold in" the additional audio stream and re-encode the resulting stream to be sent to your AVR.

How do I do that? What am I looking for in the settings?
