john226 Gunslinger Registered: 09/04/07 Posts: 50 Loc: sacramento, ca	First question: does ARC really solve lip sync problems when using the TV ARC HDMI input after processing through the 975 HDMI out? Second question: is the 975 included in the Logitech Harmony Remote data base. If not, when is it expected to be. If I get the right answers to these two questions I'm in on the 975. Will be placing my order next week.

Shouldn't be too long before it shows up, hopefully. _________________________ B&W 804s mains B&W HTM4 Center Outlaw 990 Anthem MCA 30 AMP Audiosource Stereo AMP Monitor Radius 180 surround Comcast DVR Sony HX929 LED TV Apple Air Express/Apple TV

I think my cable/TIVO input required about 100msec to get it right. I occasionally watch TV OTA and then use the ARC feature to play TV sound through my speakers. I don't think I had to use any lip sync delay for the ARC. Hope that helps.

I've been reading up on this a bit today.....it looks as though ARC is intended for that type of convenience as opposed to fixing the lip sync issues that in my case appear to be affected by different channels as well as sources. _________________________ B&W 804s mains B&W HTM4 Center Outlaw 990 Anthem MCA 30 AMP Audiosource Stereo AMP Monitor Radius 180 surround Comcast DVR Sony HX929 LED TV Apple Air Express/Apple TV

See this link for more info: http://hometheater.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=hometheater&cdn=gadgets&tm=64&gps=506_10_1920_910&f=00&tt=8&bt=0&bts=0&zu=http%3A//www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/arc.aspx It appears HDMI 1.3 had this capability but it was not used until 1.4a came out with ARC. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

Jim M Gunslinger Registered: 09/17/05 Posts: 23 Loc: Somerville, MA	I've been watching TV OTA using ARC for audio through 975. Confirmed 0 ms lip sync delay. No problems with this. Nice feature and I'm happy it's there. (Glad it's available because I'm having problems with 975 - hum on all channels when anything plugged in to any HDMI. I next created a bunch of hand-off issues moving cables around and ended up watching a couple NFL games OTA with 975 playing audio via ARC. Then I figured out what I did, but I've still got hum. ARC audio works great though!) Edited by Jim M (12/30/12 08:52 PM)
