ZT60: We'd like to connect the audio out to our legacy analog preamp, tuner, & power amp 2.0 sound system.
Application: OTA reception (no cable or satellite), as well as video streaming, Blu-Ray, and DVDs.
I'm aware Viera plasmas lack analog audio out.
In searching AVS, I found:
1. Are there obvious lip sync issues?
2. Are there any other recommended methods (HDMI or USB) for outputting audio from a Viera to a DAC that would provide correct synchronization and/or remote controlled variable audio output?
Our other option is to use our Samsung DTB-H260F instead of the Viera internal tuner. It provides:
However, the audio is not always in sync with the video even though both the audio & video are coming from the same source, the DTB-H260F.
3. Is there a way to solve the lip sync issue?
4. Or, is a soundbar the most cost-effective way to have high-quality synchronized audio & video? Thank you!

I'm aware Viera plasmas lack analog audio out.
In searching AVS, I found:
- Using the digital audio out + a DAC is one solution for analog audio output.
- For OTA applications one should select a DAC that also includes DD & DTS such as Fiio D07 or Gefen GTV-DD-2-AA .
- There were some concerns that the audio may not always be in sync with the video.
- The Viera digital audio out is fixed, not variable, and our legacy preamp lacks remote control. (A mute is essential for commercials.)

Our other option is to use our Samsung DTB-H260F instead of the Viera internal tuner. It provides:
- HDMI & component video (as well as S-video, & composite outs)
- Variable analog audio out w/o requiring a DAC (as well as optical DD out)
- Remote control
- EPG
However, the audio is not always in sync with the video even though both the audio & video are coming from the same source, the DTB-H260F.
