It turns out that all my issues stem from the fact I have a USB microphone connected to my Xbox 360. So I finally remember to ask the Xbox discussion about the issues I was hitting with Lips. Posted in Games, Music on December 10th, 2008 by Krunk - Be the first to comment.

Lips Xbox 360 Troubleshooting How To Correct It
I think the reason for this variance of opinions isn't due to the fact that some people are more tolerant then others. You will find owners within every single model level that both will and will not agree that there is indeed audio lag that gets introduced through this receiver. Check the cables attacked to your game console and the power unit and make sure that it is plugged in tightly.Guide on Correcting Onkyo Audio Sync DelayLip sync is a problem with all these new Onkyo receivers in this series, including the higher priced models. If you take the time to read this and do everything in this it will help youre a lot.Troubleshooting Other xBox 360 Problems Sometimes you get flashing red lights when your system is cool usually means your power cable is loose somewhere. I wrote a very lengthy topic on how to correct it and make it near perfect if not totally perfect.
DVD, DVR, CBL, GAME, etc) each of these modes allow you to individually tweak the A/V sync unique to each source input. Cable boxes, satellite boxes, tivos, consoles, dvd players, etc)The good news is there are ways to fix this problem so that it is within a range that is tolerable and near perfect Rather then something that is just angering to watch and listen to.NOTE: Every input source mode you select on this receiver (ex. After the receiver they ALL became laggy and the bad ones became unbelievably BAD! So, I just want to clarify the problem DOES exist, but the extent of the problem is unique to each persons source equipment setup. I say this because on my cable box (even before this receiver) some HD channels via HDMI never created lag and some other ones were ALWAYS laggy. However, after the receiver is installed the situation worsened to the point of VERY noticeable. (key word being "some" components, not all).
This is why you REALLY have to take your time! Really pay attention if the voice is ahead of the lips moving OR if the lips moving is ahead of the voice, this is a very fine line that can be hard to spot. If you don't have a DVR cable/sat box then just watch a show that has someone talking a long time with a close up camera shot for the entire duration (cooking shows I found are perfect for A/V sync tweaking, so hop over to Food network HD).NOTE: YOU WILL NEVER get the delay 100% perfect, you are only going to get it 99.9% of the way there! Be aware of this fact! You can easily blow past the "sweetspot" since you can never nail the delay perfectly. Since then, the lag is very unnoticeable on all my source.Set up a A-B loop with someone talking (a close up camera shot of their mouth, saying a full length paragraph not one or two words.) You can set A-B loops with DVDs and you can also loop stuff with your TV DVR (if you own one). Until I decided keeping everything at 0ms and being angry wasn't a solution! That is when I got serious about tweaking the lag to perfection. Source Setup > A/V Sync > (tweak this setting)I was very angry at the delay when I 1st bought this receiver the 1st 2 weeks of ownership. PS3, Cable, Xbox 360, etc) They all produce unique audio lag and this receiver will remember different A/V Sync delay settings for each of these Video Modes.Even if you experience lag using Analog and not HDMI, these steps below will come close to curing them.This is the primary means by which you are going to fix this problem!On the remote click "menu" and then select:> 4.
Really analyze at every single step! Typically most things seem to sync up nice in the range of 0-80ms. Trust me when you are done with A/V syncing all your equipment you will hardly notice lag like you are at the moment of doing these finite tests.My advice is start at 0ms and work your way up 1 step upward at a time. THIS is when you want to keep that setting at that very point, cause its as close as you are going to get it.
If I attempted to voice sync just for that "bad" channel (which I did my 1st time doing this) all my other channels would be horribly out of sync. I mention this because some channels where I live lag badly even when the I have box plugged directly into my tv's hdmi slot. This will become your "guinea pig" A/V sync testing base line channel to tweak your receiver to. If you bought this receiver the same time as your tv, then plug the cable box directly to the tv and find a channel that seems like voices have no lip sync lag (or very little). If it doesn't work near 0ms you may need to jump it way higher.I suggest when you set up your Cable or Satellite box that you pick a good non voice laggy "HD" channel (something that never lagged before you bought this new receiver).
You can adjust the A/V sync based on the delay between when you press the button, to the time when you hear the sound. Just find a game that produces a sound when you press a button on the controller. (TNT HD is notorious for this) I rather have the majority of my channels function correctly though instead of them all suffering for the one bad channel.Video games are the easiest to tweak the A/V sync. You just have to differentiate is the lag coming from the "channel", or my receiver? Some channels will just always be out of whack. Even the really troublesome channels seem to be slightly improved. The good news is, that if you can A/V sync your receiver to this base-line channel, the lip sync matches up nicely on all the other channels.
Lips Xbox 360 Troubleshooting Movie Player And
The video games or the movies?! The ultimate solution is just buy an external blu ray or hd dvd player and sync the ps3 for what it was made to do best (play video games). Since you can only tweak the A/V sync for the whole ps3, you have to chose which is more important for perfect sync. You may notice blu ray movies play with no lip sync lag, but the video games on the ps3 do! (or vice versa) Here lies the dilemma. (In some ways this is a lot like setting the ASIO midi delay speed of midi musical instruments like keyboards and drum machines, or those of you who are musicians too, with really bad setting you press the button and a 1/4 second later you hear the sound.)PS3 as a Blu Ray movie player and a gaming console Sync TIPS:You may notice that ps3 has a dual personality when plugged in via hdmi with this receiver.
Its up for you to decide.If you are someone who uses it for both you will find not all games requires 100% perfect lip sync. (I am sure I would get flamed for saying that on the Sony boards) Anyhow, I sync my receiver to watch movies perfectly on the PS3 But, yes the games can sometimes get WAY out of whack with the current settings I have chosen. Thankfully I own a Xbox 360 and all the good games come out for that console and i find myself rarely playing PS3 anyway.

Please be mindful that the maximum speaker distance range this receiver allows you to set up for is 30 feet. What this is doing is tricking the receiver into thinking your speakers are further away then they actually are in reality and they compensate by playing sooner thereby reducing the delay even further then is allowed in A/V Sync. Please note that if you add 10 feet to 1 speaker add exactly 10 feet to all the speakers. If you find that on some of your receivers mode settings you are at the extreme top or bottom end of A/V sync and you still cant get it perfect try this technique above. For every 1 foot you add to these speakers you get approximately 1ms of reduced lip sync delay.
Just increase or decrease this distance accordingly for your setup.Please note, that when you do this speaker distance increase, it is holistic for the entire receiver and not an individual mode option.
