Sky Q lip sync , will optical cable cure it ?

signs · 30 Mar 2017 at 20:20

My ax902 has gone for repair , all my cables are in trunking so now is the time to add one if I can squeeze it into the trunking .
Currently I'm using ARC back to my Denon 2300 but the lip sync is quite bad at times . So was thinking optical might work ? What ya think ?

sounds familiar, i had similar issues when i was with virgin and had a tivo box. optical cured it. Wouldnt hurt to try?

Yeah that's what I thought , so is it hdmi from sky box to amp then optical from amp to TV ?

That won't work unless you also have HDMI or a direct connection from the Sky Q box to the TV as optical is sound only. I've always done Sky box to TV via HDMI and Sky box to amp via Optical. That way if I don't want the surround sound I don't need it and have TV sound or I can turn the amp on, turn the TV volume to zero and have surround sound via the amp.

yup , ill give that ago thanks
