How can I get past the audio delay with my surround sound?

Question

I'll try to make this as short as possible. I just bought a Plasma TV and LG surround sound system (LHT764). The TV is a LG too. I have just an antenna cable coming into my TV because the TV converts my local channels to HD. And I have the audio out of the TV connected to the AUX input of the receiver/upconvert dvd player. It's connected with just composite cables (red and white). The sound from my tv is delayed pretty bad and I want to know if by using an optical cable from the TV to the receiver would eliminate the problem? (even if its just an antenna signal would an optical cable help the speed?) Or.... if that wouldn't work is there any way to separate the audio and video from a coaxial cable? Like through some switcher or device of some sort? That way I could run the video directly into the TV and audio to the receiver. (I know, I checked... the receiver doesn't have a video input. Please let me know which way would work best. Thank You!!!

Answer 1

run the red white cables direct from thge source not tv

Answer 2

The problem could be coming from the fact that you may have sound coming from the speakers on the tv as well as from the speakers coming from the receiver. You need to turn the tv speakers off when listening to your speakers of your audio system. That can be the problem. If your TV has a digital output ( i doubt it because that would break all kinds of copy protection laws) it would help. But you would still have to have the signal of the tv speakers off.

Good Luck!
