This is why I was asking, you do have a player that can adjust for speaker distances and you do not want to adjust them here and also in the 990. What your doing is causing the DVD player to delay the audio by setting it to 10ft and then the 990 also adds a delay based on it's auto calibration setting. In theory, the DVD's delay should only apply to its analog outputs, but it may be affecting your digital outputs also.
My recommendation, zero out all the speaker distance settings in your DVD and set all the speakers to large.
Measure the speaker distances from your listening position and then manually put these into your 990 settings only, with no lip synch delay to start. Then you should start from there to see if you have a lip synch delay on a source that you previously viewed and experienced such.
Auto calibrate gets thrown off in the lower frequencies so even with out a sub, if your speakers are full range and can produce lower level sub 60Hz tones, then it can affect your auto calibrate results from what I have experienced and also seen posted by others here.
