Why do some DVD's I play suffer delayed audio which results in what seems like a badly dubbed movie (this happens throughout Scream 3, and in some parts of other movies, particularly when the actor is in the background of the shot). My setup is scart from DVD to TV, and red and white audio cables from the DVD to HIFI. MY DVD has DTS - is this related to the problem. Can anyone help?

I beleive what you are refering to is a lip sync problem which has plagued certain DVD players. As you mentioned scart I presume you are in the UK. I am not familiar with UK DVD players but if you post which brand and model you have maybe someone here can shed some more light. You may also want to post this in the international forum if you are from the UK and have a UK DVD player. FWIW, if it is a lip sync problem then probably the only way to fix it is by having the firmware updated. To do this you will either have to take it back to the place of purchase and see if they can get it fixed or contact the manufacturer. I hope this helps.

There is a problem with Sony DVD players that were manufactured in the early to mid 99. I had the same problem with my 530 model.
DTS has nothing to do with the problem. In fact if you are only using the red and white cables you aren't even watching movies in DTS or even Dolby Digital surround sound. You are only watching them in......Dolby surround.
