Audio out of sync with video DVD


I just bough my first surround processor, a Rotel 1065. I Do sound mixing and editing in the movie biz so I might be more sensitive to this than others but hope there is a fix.

I notice when watching a DVD and listening though the Rotel the sound is not in sync with the video? It seems to me Rotel would put a video delay in the signal path to compensate for this, but it seem they do not.

Is there a fix for this?

It could be my Cheep DVD player.

Thanks, Mark

I think that the audio delay feature is intended to compensate for different distances to speakers in a multichannel system, and as such is too short to have any use in correcting a noticable video/audio out-of- sync condition.

I think that the out-of-sync condition is probably in the original signal. Interestingly, we thought there was a problem like this during Pres Bush's speach to the RNC. Perhaps the broadcast process includes some deliberate delay, and they did't get it set up quite right.
