Don't suppose there is a menu to allow other devices to be controlled that isn't in the manual or otherwise obvious?

im really hoping they offer to send me a new set and hope its third times a charm. i really like tv and what it offers but if the replacement still has this issue i will be getting my money back and looking to a different brand.

this was the original before the replacement

i will post up pictures later to show the new damages

With blurays (Panasonic DMP-BDT210) it does not happen as much as my cable, but I have observed it. I was watching a making of documentary for a movie and it was stuttering while 3 people were sitting at a table... Certainly wasn't a lot of motion there. My player is set to 1080p.

Xbox - Depends on the game I'm playing, but it ranges from pretty bad to occasionally.

Crossing my fingers....

So I played around with the audio delay on my AVR. I had a 160 ms to play with. I ended up setting it on about 110 ms delay. I came up with 110 ms by trying my best to turn the audio up on my TV, then messing with the audio delay until there was not any echo or reverb. I don't think it's perfect, but better than what it was.

How have other people fixed their audio synch issues with their surround systems?

Would anyone mind posting the milliseconds of delay that they used? 0 ms on my Yamaha creates an echo when I turn up the tv speakers.

Hi Nitra,

My original setup did have an AVR (Onkyo TX-NR609) with my cable box, xbox and bluray player all connecting to that, with the out going into HDMI 4 on the TV. All three devices were connected via HDMI to the receiver.

First thing I did, was to pass all the video straight from the receiver to the TV without any conversion or processing. When that didn't help I tried setting the output from the receiver to 1080p, 1080p/24 (made it really bad), and to auto and none of those did anything.

I then figured that maybe my receiver was messing up things, so I went straight into the TV with my xbox and cable box. Xbow was plugged into HDMI 2 and my cable box went into HDMI 1. The issue still occured.

Device outputs:
Bluray player - 1080p
Xbox - 1080p
Cable box - 1080i, 720p (I've changed to output just 720p and didn't help)

Last night I was messing around with settings and turned on game mode. With my xbox it seemed to fix it. At least in the one game that I am able to replicate the stuttering issue. I also put it on with the cable box and it seemed to work as well. The tickers at the bottom of news or ESPN would either stutter right when it started to scroll and then clear up or just stutter the entire time. Now they scroll smoothly. So while I think game mode fixes it (haven't tested it enough yet), it really isn't a complete fix since I'm stuck with certain picture settings.

Ok, lets take a step back and work with 1 device at a time and see if there's an issue with the set.
First some background, this lag/stutter that people see is normally caused by some extra processing/conversion that was done to the source.

Now, lets start with the cable box, in it's settings you have the ability to set fixed 720p or 1080i or auto, set this to auto.
Lets work with HDMI2 on the TV, plug the cable box into HDMI2, and reset the picture options for HDMI2.
Flip around your HD channels, is the resolution changing differently on different channels? 720p/1080i? or is it staying fixed? Cycle through quite a few of them, you should see the TV swap modes, it might pause for a second or 2 when it does.

See if there's any difference in the lag, if you're on a 1080i channel you will now be able to adjust "film mode"

What model is your Bluray player? and what Blurays do you have kicking around? I'll work on that next as I get time, one thing at a time.

When set the box to auto it would change between 720p and 1080i. While in 1080i I messed with all the film modes and none helped. Played around with all the automotion settings and only clear did help out. It didn't eliminate it completely, but did reduce it (though streaking was created in certain instances).

I can confirm now that game mode when using my cable box did eliminate the problem completely, but that makes the picture quality look bad.

As for my bluray player it is a Panasonic DMP-BT210 which I just purchased a couple weeks back. Came out last year. Again the issue is not nearly as frequent as with my cable box, but it is there. For example i threw in Pirates of the Caribbean and was watching a scene with a lot of waves and noticed it. Other movies - dark knight, transformers, saving private ryan, even Napoleon Dynamite! It is very random and I've even noticed it in scenes where people are sitting at a table talking.

When I hooked up the player to my older Samsung UN40B6000 tv there was no stuttering same with my cable box. Not that I've seen a lot of HDTV's, but I've never seen anyone have what I'm having.

TV verison is F301 (updated firmware on all devices that I could).

thanks again.

You want the STB to send the signal direct to the TV without processing the image at all, if you set it on a fixed size, this can trigger upscaling and downscaling.

I then played with all my TV picture settings and still the same results. When set to auto and having a 1080i signal, I went through all the film modes and none of them had an effect.

It was only after I tried auto from my box that I tried to see if fixed worked.

I picked up a UN60D7000 last week and am having an issue with stuttering similar to the video lagging or slowing down. From reading this thread and on another site I see that I'm not the only one. From what I've been read most people who have this issue only seem to have it with cable/sat. However I have have noticed it when playing blurays and on my xbox.

My cable box (Chater, Box - scientific atlanta 8300hdc) is the worst. With certain channels it occurs all the time, where as others once in a while. tried changing my video output on the cable box to just 1080i as well as just 720p and that didn't fix it.

Xbox - Depends on the game I'm playing, but it ranges from pretty bad to occasionally.

This thread has offered numerous suggestions, but unfortunately none have been a fix for me. I've messed around with film mode (when I can), the automotion settings, the led motion setting. connecting directly to the tv instead of my reciever. When I set automotion to clear it does fix most issues with the stutter, but I do still notice it just not as much. However I hate the way it makes most things look, so it really isn't a "fix" for me. The rest of the settings don't help and just give me a stuttering soap opera look...

If anyone has any more possible suggestions I'd be very greatful. Besides this issue, I really love the TV. I'm guessing though I'll end up returning it.

Thank you

Its on "standard" by default when you buy the tv. Try using "clear" option. I notice that on mine anyway. Not sure if its the nature of trying to create frames that don't exist to smooth out the picture.

Anyone else notice that on standard AMP mode?
