Yamaha RX-V665

The Yamaha RX-V665 (also called the Yamaha HTR-6260) is a 7.2 channel digital home theater receiver offered by Yamaha. It supports HD audio and video featuring HD audio encoding and 1080p HDMI, with four inputs and one output with video upscaling as well as other features such as Digital ToP-ART, YPAO, Cinema DSP 3D and custom installation features. Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) is the philosophy used by Yamaha to maximize digital quality with minimal analog circuitry. The YPAO automatic system calibration uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where the speakers are. It is Bluetooth, iPod, XM radio, XM HD surround sound, neural surround and sirius radio ready with extra required hardware and subscriptions (if required). The four SCENE buttons can be programmed to easily switch between the most common viewing/listening modes such as DVD Viewing, Disk Listening, TV Viewing and Radio Listening, with many others to choose from.

I am having trouble syncing the audio output going to the speakers attached to the AMP and the speakers on my TV. All HDMI. Need to delay sound on the TV by a few ms, but can't do on TV. AMP delay any seems to affect the speakers attached to the AMP, not the speakers on the TV, even though HDMI is going from source to AMP to TV.
