Modern A/V receivers with HDMI I/O generally have an
adjustable delay for addressing this issue.

My HDTV's *only* output of any kind other than the
picture is digital coax (stereo, not multichannel),
which does indeed have the proper amount of delay for
use with a standard DAC. If I wanted multichannel, then I'd have to use
one of
the outputs of the cable box. I've tested some of them
and they all cause lip synch problems unless additional
delay is applied.

An AV amplifier would have an adjustable delay feature to
bring the sound into time-alignment with the picture. If
the OP wants multi-channel sound then this is his best
option, if he only wants 2 channel stereo then using the
digital audio output from the TV will do the job for a
lot less dosh.

I've heard that A/V amplifiers exist, but most people on this side of the
pond save a lot of money by going the receiver route. On Black Friday I
saw a 100 wpc multichannel receiver for under $100. The ad didn't give
much but brand and channel count. For sure, I saw 7.1 channels and HDMI
for under $200.


I checked, my AV amp (Sony STR-DG820) is a *receiver*!!

I never knew that!
