i have component out cable going directly into tv and optical sound cable going into the amp and then to tv. The sound on the tv is coming through before the image and the delay is roughly half a second to a second. will using another component cable from the amp solve the problem?

It sounds to me that your TV (probably a digital HDTV) has more delay in processing the picture than your audio system in processing the sound. I don't think using the component video from the amp will solve your problem...rather it would be worse.
Most amp (as you put it) usually has the option to delay the sound. Check your manual and see if your amp will do this. I know that mine does. Also, check your TV manual to see whether you can change the delay time.

I have NEVER understood why that problem would crop up. Ideally it shouldn't matter whether you are going directly to the TV or through the amp first. BUT, I've also seen this happen on rare occasions. Try running everything through the amp first and see what happens. If that fixes it, let the rest of us know, because you could very well be on to something.
