(It processes the signal, but delays it enough that the picture does not sync with the sound) I think matt tried this, and this was the problem. So no digital video. (I'd assume analog ins would suffer the same sync fate though) :-( Daniel -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

I only have a 210EQ at this point and there isn't a noticeable delay. I guess it might be possible to come up with a video delay to allow video with the 4000. Just add a tivo and your set :-)

I might be just full of it, but it seems like the longer the 4k is on the longer the delay becomes. I have a DVD player connected in through the analog input. It is disconcerting watching the video with the sound delayed, but its a little 7" screen and I've kind of gotten to used to it and it doesn't really bother me all that much.

    Subject: Various hackery (XDP-210EQ)
    --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "Mark Laird" <mark_laird@hotmail.com> Maybe I've got this wrong, but since you have to enter a distance for the time alignment, doesn't it send the audio signal to the furthest speaker first? For example, if you have one channel set for 100 ft. and another at 0 ft. the channel at 100 ft. would get its signal first since it needs more time to reach you than the one at 0 ft. So, assuming the default signals in the 4000x are all set at a distance of 0 (feet, inches, whatever it is...) then by default all signals have the maximum delay. If you take all the channels and time align to the largest distance possible, wouldn't you be speeding up the delay in the audio for all signals? Hopefully, whatever the max distance is will speed it up by .5 seconds. Of course, this can only work if the 4000x does time alignment based off of an absolute control, and doesn't just compare the distances to each other. Am I wrong? Anyone tried it already? Mark Original: Yup, that's true. Both analog and digital input delay the signal about .5 seconds. I might be just full of it, but it seems like the longer the 4k is on the longer the delay becomes. I have a DVD player connected in through the analog input. It is disconcerting watching the video with the sound delayed, but its a little 7" screen and I've kind of gotten to used to it and it doesn't really bother me all that much.

    1.27 SUBJ_HAS_UNIQ_ID Subject contains a unique ID --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: Ethan <telmnstr@757.org> Okay, according to the schematic diagrams my friend bought off of some Russian guy (Sony, get a clue)... Pin 24 on IC 201 (System Controller) DOUT_SEL = digital output. L = DOUT Still digging to see where the S/PDIF would be pulled from pin 85 on IC101... that is, assuming there isn't an issue with the mp3 decoder IC operating independantly of the standard CD audio decoder...
