Hi all
this is a known issue. If you can read german, try my post here: http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/t/29303.aspx 26 Oct 2009 9:32 PM and newer.
It is because:
- masterlink only supports analog audio (hence this is why you have to connect a scart/cinch from a setop box to your BV, HDMI doesn't bring the audio onto masterlink)
- I think you have bad luck; you are looking analog TV oder a built in DVB tuner. why? see next
- as noted above, the audio delay is required because it takes the picture processor some time to build the image. For this time, an audio delay is required. Otherwise the audio will come out of the loudspeakers before the picture is ready.
- now when you have an external settop box to get TV, you can place a sound delay in between the SCART/Cinch and the BV. Such a audio delay is available by http://www.motron.com/product_info.php/products_id/133 . I use this and it works perfect. In this configuration, the linkroom audio will be delayed for this source. In the mainroom the delay is done by the BV and no other source will be delayed (ie radio/CD) -> when you don't use a settop box, you might want to cut the masterlink audio files and place the above delay in between...which I wouldn't do.
- or you might want to reduce the sound delay on your BV. But then the lipsync is gone. You (as the owner of this thread) will (always) see this (because you read this here), but the rest of your family probably won't notice. Before I had the motron delay box, I changed the delay from 200ms to 60ms (60ms is almost not noticeable by your ears) and my family members were happy. But I always saw that the lipsync is not good..so i had to buy this box.
- to change the sound delay in the BV, you have to go into the customer service menu
And I agree with B&O, that the delay must not be on the masterlink by default:
Because you would get major problems, when connecting a Link TV via the HF link. On the HF link you get the video and on masterlink the (undelayed) audio. This works then fine when you have a CRT TV in your linkroom. When you have a LCD link TV, this TV will have to do it's own delay. The delay depends on the TV, its picture processor and this differs from any model.
I don't think that AV TV works. BTW, what do you mean by AV TV exactly?
