Glenn, Sorry none of my suggestions helped you. I hope you work your problems out though. The only problems I have had with my entire setup is getting enough tracks to play at once. I max out at about six tracks simultaneously. That's only for long tracks. I can get eight tracks if 3 or 4 of them are only short sound F/X every once and a while. But synchronization has been a piece of cake since I figured out that it gets confused if you expect it to run off internal time code when time code is coming into the external time code spigot. Incidentally, the internal/external time code box in preferences on mine actually changes automatically to external if TC is present at the TC input, and back to internal if TC is not present at the TC input. Kind of begs the question of why they have the selection box there at all, doesn't it? Why not just have a internal/external "status" display. Incidentally, my time code source which I use to stripe my multi-track machine and/or my S-VHS machine was a compact disc full of test tones (including 10 minutes of all 4 SMPTE formats) that I bought at the Camelot store in the mall for $9.95! How's that for synchronization on a budget! Good Lock (sic!), Terry Tabor
