My bad on the wording. My video signals will go from my 2 DVD players directly to the display. Just wondering how common this problem is, and what usually causes it. Even if there is a problem, 3 of the receivers I have been looking at (HK 335, refurbished HK 430, and Denon 2805) all have the AV delay adjustment. But if I didn't have to get the delay feature, that would open up more possible receivers that would be in the running.
