    Audio and Video Sync Problem

    I recently purchase an AVR 507 S2 and a new 50 inch plasma TV at the same time. I have had a strange proble that I can not find the source and thought that someone may have some insight. I have a cable card and and a cable box connected to my TV. Very often the audio and vidio is not in sync. This may sound strange, but the sound comes out before the vidio. Many times this will happen when I am using the cable box and when I change over to the cable card, it goes away (or at least it is discernably improved). I had the TV sent to the shop to be repaired but they could not duplicate the problem. Obviously, I thought the problem was with the cable company only. However, when I am watching a movie or concert on DVD I still have the same problem, although to a lesser degree. It is really irritating when watching a piano or drums and it is not in sync. I never really noticed this problem before with the DVD player (a good Sony DVD player that is 5 years old), but it may have been because the TV was 36 inches versus 50 Inches. Also, when I view a DVD on another player it is much better.

    The only piece of equipment, that hasn't been checked out, is the receiver. Has anybody ever heard of this type of problem before with the AVR 507 S2, or any other receiver. My dealer hasn't been much help in resolving this problem. We have looked at every piece of equipment except the receiver. Before I call B&K next week, I had hoped to get some input from this group.

    Does the AVR 507 S2 have an audio delay setting? Many newer processors do, to address the issue you are seeing. Many digital displays introduce a delay in the video due to having to scale the image to the screen, and this can cause lip sync issues.

    I've seen audio sync issues with some digital cable and satellite setups, as well.

      I've gone over the manual completely and I can't find anything referring to an audio or video delay. I've also looked for this in my Sony DVD manual, to no avail. I've been told that the issue of the audio occurring before the video is strange. Usually, it's the other way around.

      I'm going to try and contact B&K this week. Thanks for the recommendation.

        New to HT and problem with cable types
        by kaeo
        I just picked up a Yamaha htp-5630 and the output to my sub is in rca format. I mean it's a single plug output similar to the video cable from my dvd player. My problem is that my sub has a different style of input. I don't know what it's called but it's two cables sleeved together; one a positive and...

        Rotel 1066 component video setup problem
        by mattstacey
        Hi guys,

        I just replaced my Denon 3802 with a Rotel 1066 yesterday, hooked up to a Rotel 1075 amp. I haven't had much of a chance to listen to it yet but so far it sounds awesome.

        I have a problem with my video connections though. I had no problems with the Denon 3802 so...

        Unstable/video sync issues with HD via RSX-1056
        by fvoelling
        I recently switched to Comcast cable and tried to watch some NFL playoff games in HD on my projector. The Motorola cable box is connected via component to the 1056, which in turn is connected via component-to-RGA to the projector. I had watched a few HD movies that way before and everything worked fine....

        I have a question for the group. I have a 1068/1075 combo with various audio and video inputs. I have been experiencing a problem on the video side of the equation lately. Our primary operating mode is watching SDTV Dish Network via S-Video and digital audio inputs from a Dish Player 625. The symptoms...

        Digital Sticky on the AVR 507 S2
        by wca156
        I recently had my AVR 507 S2 installed and my cable's digital stations signal had a tendency to lose contact with the receiver. The receiver would then attempt to find an analog signal and I would lose sound and sometime the picture for a few seconds. This would happen 10 to 20 time during a typical...
