Here's something even more interesting. I have the Lexicon MC-8 now which doesn't have BM on the 5.1 inputs. If I adjust phase correctly using a digital signal to the pre/pro, and then compare to the analog DD signal out of the player, I am OK. (But there are small differences in phase.) But when I check with DVD-A analog, out of phase. I tried both with and w/o BM enabled in the player. Now, I am convinced the player is doing something funky.

One thing I want to check but haven't had time, is just try this using the front L & R speakers. Wierd, huh?
