I have a buddy who had the 2803 and he noticed a phase delay between his audio and video.
Not to pick nits, but I assume you mean "lip flap" where what you see and hear don't coincide - it's not usually a problem with a receiver, it's usually a problem with either the DSP or the speaker distance settings.
I've noticed that some receivers assume sound travels at a walking pace... the idea is to adjust the timing of the sound so it hits your ears at the right moment, but they seem to overcompensate, the difference in delay between say, your mains being 12ft away and 12.5ft away is 380 microseconds (0.000380 millisecond) but there is an audible difference as you step through the speaker distance settings on some receivers, and my Yamaha, for instance seems to swap phase 180 deg between full and half feet.
Another one of those times when it's best to turn off the DSP effects and ignore the numbers and look and listen to what SOUNDS right.
