Need possibility of adding delay in addition to the normal 70ms

Hi, I'm very excited about Sonos, and recently upgraded AV Receivers to be able to seamlessly switch inputs from CD/DVD/Phono/Sonos while using the Autoplay function in Sonos. Fantastic idea, (and very surprised not everyone's doing this), BUT I find that my system is no longer in sync (the Sonos P3's and P5 are ahead of the sound coming through the Connect via Hifi). I did not have this issue with the lower end Denon 1911, but I do now with the 3313. I can add delay with the 3313, but that doesn't help me since it's the other Sonos modules that are ahead of the Denon. Adding the possibility of adding delay (in addition to the required 70ms for processing) would make my system whole again.

      Same problem with a Bose Home Theathre, have gone through possible options in Bose´s Menu and nothing fixes the synch problem with Sonos.
      Sonos, this delaying audio option ifor sonos connect s a must have!!!!
      Over two years and nothing? You should work on this on the beta version that you are working on!

      What is the status on this? It's getting ridiculous. The connect is a relatively expensive piece of kit, it can't be that hard to code a delay compensation on it's outputs.... can it? Without that feature it renders the connect useless in party mode for hundreds of your customers, it really should be addressed.

      Yes, as I want to use the processing in the receiver as it gives better sound this delay setting must be solved in the Sonos speakers. It´s just another lipsync option.

      I just received 2 Play:3 for Xmas.  but I will be returning them due to this sync issue.  Airfoil and airport express for me!!  It's a shame.  What an easy problem to solve and so many customers would be saved!

      Can I please add to this issue.  Using a Sonos Connect with Onkyo amplifier using Coaxial link.  The delay is timed at 1.2 seconds.  Considering the much higher price of the connect over the Play speakers I think this should be added.

      Can I please add to this issue. 
      Have your tried using an RCA cable and putting the receiver in stereo/direct mode to avoid processing delay?
