Comments about Sony BDP-S380 Blu-ray Disc Player:
I ordered this Blu-Ray Player with my first HiDef TV (KDL-32EX523. See my review). Being an old-school techno-geek and new to the realm of HDMI I connected the HDMI output directly to my TV and the audio out to my preamp as I always have done. Well I sat down to watch my first disc on my TV and switched my pre-amp to the players tnput. Much to my surprise I was in the Grand Canyon but not in a good way. A strong echo that even the A/V Sync adjustment had no effect on. [...] I was puzzled because I swear by the Sony brand when it comes to video. And then finally the bulb lit up. The HDMI output is so hi-speed that it is much faster than audio out hence the echo. Solution: use the headphone out on the TV to the preamp and problem solved. Cancelled the RMA and have enjoyed it ever since. PS: Spend the extra $ on an HDMI Monster cable.
