No, if your problem is audio before video, then what you need to do is delay the audio to allow the video to catch up. If setting the audio to delay makes things worse as you say, then your problem is video before audio. But I'd be surprised if th...

From what I've seen, most components that have a method of compensating do provide what you need, which is a delay on the audio, not the video. My Oppo DVD players does at any rate. Many AV receivers also do.

We bought the Hitachi, but we may take it back. The problem is not the set itself so much as the difficulties we are having adjusting to widescreen, high def, loss of TiVo and so forth. It's less easy to just sit down and watch TV and, as great as...
