The VP50 maintains lipsync by adjusting the amount of audio delay. If you don't feed the audio into the VP50, it can't delay it. smile

Yes, of course. I blame it on other things on my mind.

However, giving this some more thought, is there not a scenario that some people are having where the video needs a delay? In this case, *if* the HD621 passed through HDMI audio which was perfectly insynch with MMHR audio, which I don't believe it can do at the moment, then this could be a scenario whereby the VP delayed the video based upon the redundant audio that it received. So whilst not actually using the audio, it uses it a cue to determining the required delay.

Could there actually be two scenarios, each requiring different chaining of the VP and HD621? One where video needed delaying, in which case HD621 should precede VP and the other where audio needed delaying, in which case VP should precede HD621.

As I say, I am not a VP or HD621 person and just thinking out loud.
