I have not been able to solve my audio sync issues after searching and trying many things. any help would be greatly appreciated!

this is my setup

dish network vip622 with hdmi going to

rca dlp hdtv

for audio receiver i use a sony strde-985 connected with optical cords

the problem is when i have my dish network on the audio doesnt sync up with the video. my xbox 360 is working great and i have it connected through optical on the same receiver. the problem is only with my dish receiver.

these are the setups i have tried:

1. i have connected the hdmi from my dish receiver to the tv and tried to then output from the tv digital out to my receiver digital in through optical and for some reason i cant get my tv to output in dolby digital so that wont work and even if it did it isnt in sync. (my tv manual says it can output DD but i cant get it to work with all the settings possible)

2. I have also tried to connect the hdmi straight to my tv and the optical straight to my sony receiver instead and it will now allow me to use dolby digital but it is not in sync with the video

3. I output a/v both using component cables and optical straight to my sony receiver then the video from my sonyreceiver to the tv with component cables as well. and this also leaves a sync issue

4. Ive gone through all dish settings and menu and still cant fix any suggestions maybe settings different?

So theres 2 problems I cant make my tv output dolby digital only pro logic
and theres a huge sync issue regardless

thanks for your help

what's the sync issue? What lags what?

the audio is not syncd with the video or maybe the other way but they are not playing together. the audio plays first i think

I have a Samsung HLT6187s and have the same problem. Apparently Samsung has turned off digital out when using HDMI. Their original claims was some type licensing issue. Several on this board have raised its their interpretation and are trying to get Samsung to take another look and provide a firmware update.

I wired up like yourself and have lip-sync issues - it varies depending on the source. I notice that some DirectTV channels are worst than others. While I am hopeful that Samsung will eventually provide a firmware update these are your choices from my research.

1) buy a new AVR w/ HDMI inputs (this should correct the problem)
2) by an audio delay box - like Felton (I know this will do it).

But before you do these contact your TV manufacturer.

hope this helps

hey thanks alot guys i had some bad experiences on these boards(no replies for help in like a week straight after repeated posts) and was starting to get a sour taste in my mouth but you helped out alot appreciate it!

i thought those would end up being the solution i wouldnt of bought my receiver.
is there a receiver capable of doing the hdmi for less than 300? and if i bought it what would be other advantages other then just the sync fix? maybe future support for other things?
