Phantoms and home cinema

[JohnnySix]

That's correct. I can adjust the sync for movies off hard disk such that delay becomes unnoticeable (including multichannel). What's more the offset is fairly constant and doesn't need adjusting. I can only watch the TiVo satisfactorily in direct stereo mode; passing it through my surround amplifier introduces too much latency. Of course some are more sensitive than others to lip sync... but we shouldn't overlook our ability to get used to a small amount of delay and stop noticing it.
