SD and HD sync issues
 
This subject has been done to death but I haven't seen my exact situation anywhere so here goes..

I've a V+ box. I was using it via Scart / RGB into my old CRT TV. All was fine.

(An aside, in case it is relevant - I tried using the V+ optical audio out to my DAC & amp but the sync was way off. I worked around this my plugging the analogue audio output of my TV into the amp.)

I'm now using HDMI from the V+ to a new Panasonic P42VT30 top-of-the range Plasma - no amp or A/V processor involved yet. The audio sync is very slightly off for all channels - SD or HD. I've tried changing all the settings I can find but nothing improves matters. It's not unwatchable but it is annoying.

Has anyone else seen this?

Is there anything I can do to fix this other than going to satellite or freeview and getting a system where I can manually set the delay?

TIA

I have a panasonic v20, but have only noticed a problem really with ITV HD...

Try turning off all the video enhancement settings on the TV.

Thank you both. I've tried turning off just about everything, and the only setting which has made a difference at all is the IFC - intelligent frame creation.

I've been trying to eliminate the source components from the equation, so tried using the built-in iPlayer app - which definitely has minor sync issues. Then I reverted to watching live tv via V+, and that didn't seem to bad.

It's unfortunate that I don't have a freeview aerial so I can just use the inbuilt tuner and the BBC's test card to show for once and for all that the TV has a problem.

I did a bit of Googling, and found someone else mentioning IFC on a similar model.

Doing a factory reset seems to have improved things but I haven't had enough time to check that the problem is really fixed.
