Posted by Q of BanditZ at AVS Forum today:
"2-21-05
"10 No Lip Synch whatsoever/Never
"13 "Intermiitent/random/unpredictable" synch issues. (May not even be consistent synch on the same disc at the same spots. Most of entrants here have had this problem.)
"3 "All the time synch every time disc is played back." These are two for Milo and RFogg said he has to use his Anthem delay feature on all movies he watches. He specified all the time."
In other words, only 10 out of 26 have had no A/V sync problem. That is 38 percent, any way you slice it.
Compare Q's tally with Ears comment of today:
"There are like 8 people at AVS in a poll that have or had a sync problem with a couple of them trying more than one player adding to the total."
The facts are the facts.
The speculation is as follows (as posted by Ears today): "There are how many thousands of the sp1000's sold around the world with zero sync problems."
How do we know this? Perhaps Ears is tapped into the global pipeline of Onkyo owners.
Is it not equally plausible, if not more so - look at Q's tally - that there are more Onkyo's sold with A/V sync problems that without? As noted before, Onkyo is aware of the problem. Reread rider's 2/14/05 posted at AVScience, which I quoted above and quote again:
"Latest update I got from Onkyo tech support:
"Japan is still working on problem. Tech said the problem is very "widespread".
The facts are that the problem is "widespread".
A DVD player, no matter how good it sounds, and no matter what its price point - it may be the greatest thing since sliced bread - is a nonstarter. When Onkyo comes up with a fix - or should I say "if" Onkyo comes up with a fix - then and only then is this player a player to be reckoned with.
