Please don't claim that this is the wrong forum as it's both a gaming and tv issue so I have had to post in both to get the best spectrum of advice:
This is as much of a warning as a request for advice, I recently purchased Dancing Stage Hottest Party as I am a big time DDR fan (but not a hardcore one, it's nice to have something refreshing aka mariomix and this). Anyway! I have an HDTV and when I play on it the arrows are either going faster than the actual music or the music is going slower than the actual arrow configuration (basically the same thing but back to this later).
On a SDTV everything works fine, everything is in sync. Now there are options on the game under graphics settings to change the timing from 0 to as far as -8 or +8, as far as i can tell -8 makes the situation a lot worse and +8 only helps marginally (when i hit on the beat originally i was getting almosts, now its goods with the odd great).
Apparently it's something to do with the composite cable (red yellow white) i'm using, went into hughe today and they think its caus the composite is too slow to cath up with the hdtv and i need a component cable which should fix the problem. But like everywhere will not refund if it doesn't work! So i need some advice please.
NOTE: I had this problem with dancing stage fever on PS2, however the settings in there allowed for configuration of up to + or - 24 i believe, and i managed to fix the issue with a setting of +16 or more.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as there is not much about this on the web and i know it's a common problem with rhythm games.
