Am I the only one with this problem? No matter what setting is used, the audio/video is out of sync. The audio has been delayed up to 70ms, and backed down to zero delay. Out of sync. It appears that the audio actually needs to be accelerated, or the video slowed down...but that does not seem to be an option.
The only setting adjustment is for audio delay, from 0 to 800ms. I need a way to accelerate the audio to match up with the video.
Tough call on which unit is causing sync issues. Process of elimination would be a good start by disabling sync on each device that has a setting that can be disabled. Then check each source sync one at a time. Sounds to me like sync is enabled on your UB and your AV processor and the 2 sync controls don't sync with A/V sync on your projector. Had a similar problem with Panasonic plasma set and a Demon.
Why not try using a single path for both audio and video through the AVR? You can try this with video processing by the AVR on or off to see if one or the other is in better synch.
It could simply be that the AVR is delaying things going through it, so putting the video through it as well equalizes things.
YES, this is a common problem. It is also addressed by increasing numbers of components... disc players that are also media players, processors, and mid-to-high-end AVRs now often allow you to ADVANCE or RETARD the audio to get it syn'd with the source. I find it fairly common to find video streamed from my hard disks on my network need to have the sound ADVANCED to get proper lip sync, while playing a disc in the same disc player used as a media player requires a "0" lip sync setting.
The only CERTAIN way to fix this is to get a newer device in your system that supports both ADVANCE and RETARD (delay) of the audio signal.
There were supposed to be improvements to the robustness of lip-sync over all potential devices in recent HDMI updates, but I can't say it's helping too much. If your problem is worst when streaming, try to make a different device in your system be the device receiving the video/audio stream and see if lip sync there works better. For example, I have a smart TV that causes sync problems with Amazon Prime Video, but the latest Gen Fire TV device connected to the pre/pro does NOT have lip sync issues on the same programming.
My DHC-80.3 9.2 has advance/retard for lip sync. But my brand new Yamaha CX-A5200 will arrive this morning, and we are hoping we can finally get this nailed down.
My entire system is now state-of-the-art, so should be good going forward.
