Latency in a Home Cinema setup

[stevec]

My experience is to use an oppo 103/105/203/205 device which has A/V sync settings !
You can set from -100ms to +200ms by +/-10 increment
This has resolved the latency issue in my gold system (set at +80ms)

Very useful, the oppo devices mentioned have an hdmi input.
A/V sync setting is applied to this input too !
So can plug any box / video game with hdmi output without latency issue -

Hope this help

Thanks a lot for the info!
Does the video delay work with the combination of toslink audio output and HDMI video output?

Yes it does but just for completeness.
If you read the Oppo manual it is not actually adding a delay to the video. At 0 setting there is built in audio delay in the Oppo to allow for video processing. The -100ms adjustment reduces this delay to close to zero. I use the 105 and it does seem to work. It is much better than when I tried direct through the TV (Panasonic Plasma). This implies that there is just enough video delay in the Oppo to get a reasonable sync where as the TV passes the video through too quickly. I run the Oppo HDMI to my TV and optical to one of my phantoms.
