Now down to the question. When optical audio lead is attached V+ box to Pioneer,the sinc between lips moving on screen and sound not good, but do get sound from BBC HDMI and other HDMI channels. When connected between tv and pioneer, sinc of lips and sound good, but no sound from HDMI channels.
Thanks for your time.

Although it is a good TV this is a known problem,
but easy to fix
.
Sharp do a firmware upgrade for the LE700 series, this gives another menu option to calibrate the timing of the sound to get the lipsync right. Its on the download section of the Sharp website. The tech support guys will talk you though it. Basically download the firmware onto a USB stick and upload into the TV. Best if you get Sharp to talk you through it.
You could simply swap the optical from the V+ to the TV and link the TV to the amp directly, leaving the HDMI between the V+ and TV. One problem with this is that you will never get 5.1 from BBC HD as another issue with the LE700 series to be aware of is that if you use HDMI to connect your sources to the TV and use the TV optical out to the Amp you will only get Pro Logic not Dolby Digital. I don't have enough inputs on my old Yamaha amp so have to this setup and then enable a Psuedo surround sound field an the amp, it works though. I have the DVD linked to the other amp input.
Hope this helps
