Hi,
So after 18 years my Sony CRT died and I've now got a Panasonic 47ET5 to replace it. Have now hooked up my rather ancient Yamaha DSPA1000 with two Monitor Audio main speakers either side, Kenwood CS-6 centre speaker and 2 Yamaha NS-E80 rear speakers. I've had to fit a CYP AU-D3 DAC to get audio from the TV to the DSPA1000.
With the DSPA1000 the centre mode can be set to normal, wide or phantom. With the normal or wide setting used the centre speaker is a fraction behind the TV with the volume up on the TV. However when set to phantom, the centre speaker is I assume ignored and when both volumes are both turned up, lip sync is perfect with vocals going through the two main speakers.
Same issues when running sound from the blu-ray player, the sound is slightly out when the DSPA1000 is set to normal or wide (not that I have the TV and DSPA1000 turned up at the same time normally, I was just using it as a reference).
Never had any lip sync issues with the old CRT set up. Could it be that the new flatscreen is nearer the wall and that the centre speaker is effectively 12 inches in front of the screen that could be causing the issue?
Any suggestions or solutions welcomed, thanks for taking the time to read the post.
