Unfortunately, I don't have a real good description at hand for the specifics of how a master clock works with managing digital signals within or between components. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

I love it that people are looking for features in a ~$1000 prepro that are in a $5000 prepro. Outlaw has to make compromises somewhere or increase prices. Although it would be interesting to see them make a no-compromise piece, I don't think I could afford it even with the Outlaw discount.
