Samsung BDP3600 Audio & Picture Settings

[rich]

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Samsung BDP3600 Blu Ray Player which is connected to a Samsung HTZ310 Home Cinema System and a Samsung LE40A556P TV. I am having a few problems with a slight time delay between the audio and video when playing blu rays. Also the picture seems to judder slightly occasionally. I was wondering if someone had a similar setup and would let me know what sound and picture settings they have configured. I am not the best educated in this area so have changed a few things to try and improve it but thought I may try here for a defnitive settings configuration.
Thanks for your help and time.

How are you connecting the audio and video currently? Are you going HDMI from BD-P3600 to the TV and then fiberoptic from TV to receiver? If so, try plugging the optical output of the BD-P3600 directly into the home theater receiver instead. It's possible the delay is being introduced by routing the audio through the TV.

Also, once you've done the above (direct fiber connection to receiver), try playing around with the digital audio settings on the player. Best results will probably come from setting the digital audio output over fiberoptic to "bistream (re-encode)" as this will convert everything to a high quality standard DTS output which your home theater receiver should be able to handle. But if this causes a delay in the audio then try the regular bistream setting instead which will work OK for everything except multi-channel PCM soundtracks wihich will be converted to 2-channel PCM over fiberoptic.

The one digital audio setting you DON'T want is PCM (in your configuration) because it will convert everything to 2-channel stereo PCM.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
