Defective or Disappointing UK Anime Discs

You seem to be detailing this as an audio problem, but I think it’s more likely the picture being delayed. When I first read (skimmed) the issue, I thought it was the audio needing to catch up, but no; it’s ahead…
Does your tv have some form of ‘game mode’ that you could try (which usually minimises input latency)? Or in the other direction; any audio connections on the player itself that you could use to skip the tv?

I tried the audio/video sync adjustment on my BD player when I watched Season 1 of Dragon Maid. I thought it worked at first, but when it went to the next episode, that turned out not to be the case, and that was when I discovered that rewinding it for a brief moment fixes the issue, but I have to make sure not to rewind it to the blank screen or it will not fix the issue. I'll see if my TV has "game mode", and check if it corrects the issue. Thanks.

If it doesn't make sure to turn off all that motion smoothing bs, it makes everything look awful and adds significant latency.

The motion smoothing was already off, as I prefer to watch the video as originally intended.

I tried "game mode" and unfortunately, it didn't work.

What I might have to do, when I get a spare few minutes, is to test my BD player on the living room TV, and check to see if it's the problem with my bedroom TV or the fault of my BD player.

Maybe sounds dumb but could the HDMI cable be to blame? If its faulty / not the best quality you might be getting some weird handshaking issue. If you are going through an AV receiver?

I'm not sure, but luckily, I have a few spare HDMI cables. When I get a spare few minutes, I'll try changing the cables to see if that works.
 
Right, I've tried the HDMI cable swap. That didn't work. Then I've tried testing it with my living room TV (both that and my bedroom TV are Hisense branded TVs, albeit different models). That didn't work either.

From what I've checked so far, as I've mentioned before, I only have this problem with select Crunchymation authored titles.

It may not work, but have you tried going into your Blu-ray player's settings and changing the audio settings from Bitstream to PCM or LPCM? It's usually under something like "digital audio output".

For whatever reason, it may be because your TV is taking a fraction longer to unpack and decode the audio that is being sent from your player. Changing it to PCM or LPCM directly on the player means your TV shouldn't have to unpack anything audio-wise (as the audio will be unpacked and decoded in the player, before its sent to the TV), so that could fix the syncing issue.

I've changed the settings from Auto to PCM on my player, and it worked. I even tested the affected BDs to confirm this.

Thanks for your help!
