not HDMI compatible AV receiver so that ain't happening. HDMI out from Bluray and HDMI out from the HD cable box deal into the Bravia. I f I ran rca cords audio out from those input sources I got lag. Running RCA cords out of the TV audio into the receiver and setting HDMI sync to on within TVs menus straightened out the sync. Now there is an odd interaction between my tv remotes volume and the stereo speak volume but what the fuck it gets plenty loud when set smartly.

I understand what you are saying Wolf and that seems correct but not when some stuff is HDMI and some is not....

Now do I drag my best B&Ws into the family room? probably not as they are free standing and I have nice old IMF book shelf speakers up now.
