HT-RT3 Audio Delay

Hi all,

 

I have recently purchased a HT-RT3 with a Sony Bravia KD55X8509C. 

 

I have the sub connected to the TV via HDMI ARC and a Chromecast Audio connected to the Aux input. 

 

The issue is almost everytime I go to use the Aux input there is a delay of 500ms to a second processing the sound, therefore the speakers in one room are out of sync with the other Chromecasts, which is very noticable.

 

I found a work around is to go into the menu > audio > effect and toggle the setting on or off, the brief silence whilst it changes something removes the delay. The state of the effect setting makes no difference, it can be toggled off and on again and it'll remove the delay just the same. 

 

For a £250 audio system, added to the rather loud fan in the sub (mentioned elsewhere on here) I cannot recommend this product at all at the moment. I'm wondering if persisting and hoping a firmware update fixes this or if these seem unpopular for a reason?

 

Thanks.
