Dennon 2310 & sky

[admin_exported]

Hi guy's

Just installed Denon 2310 & Kef 3005se-w speakers using van den hul flat HDMI cable. I have just read in this forum that to achieve surround sound from sky HD box, i will require an optical cable? My question is...do i still need to have the HDMI cable attached? It wasn't cheap so will be gutted if not required!

Hi. Use HDMI to carry picture and optical for sound. Cheers.

Hi oggy1,

We are both hooking up Sky to the 2310 at the same time (see my posting literally 1 minute before yours). I'd be interested to know if you encounter the same lip synch issues as I am.

Cheers

i have also connected my sky hd to the 2310 and the lip synch issue is very frustrating. I have tried to adjust it via the sky settings and also the the audio delay settings on the 2310 with no joy. Tried to watch Transformers this morning recorded on Sky + and it is almost unwatchable - the audio is so far out it almost looks like it has been badly dubbed

Have you tried adjusting the processing settings on your TV? I have a Philips 9664 and was advised to turn off 'Perfect Natural Motion'. That seems to make a significant difference.

Try hooking up the receiver to HDMI port one, apparently there is better circuitry there or something. This has fixed some problems for others so it is worth a try. I have linked my Denon 2310 to my Sky HD this way and there aren't any lip sync issues at all. I have the Amstard box, which boxes are you people having problems with?

Mine is hooked up through HDMI 1 as suggested along with the optical feed. I have the Amstrad also. I am watching a movie on one of the Hd channels and all is ok but when i go into my planner and watch a recorded movie, that is where the audio sync problem is.
