audio delay in receivers

[CAvolleyballguy]

Hello,

I notice i get some serious delay some of the time. I know some cable channels cause this more than others. But I was curious how much of this is caused by my receiver.

Even on HDMI out of the blu ray there is a delay between the TV audio and the HT speakers. It is slight, sounds like an echo..when I turn off the TV sound the lip synch is un noticeable, but I know it is slight...was just curious if better receivers resolve this better. I know newer tvs have a lip synch function if using HDMI, but my current TV does not.

My receiver right now is a onkyo705

If you hook your cable box audio through your receiver first, and not directly to the tv that will probably fix it.

long story short, my hdmi on my tv broke...so I have component video and audio going from cable and dvd player into TV. I have hdmi 1.3 from cable and dvd to receiver. I can play tv with sound without the HT. but when I want HT I have full 1.3hdmi audio..
