Exactly. I'm glad you mentioned that as I failed to in my posts.

Just so Avid is aware, I had the same problem....the manuals are opposite in their instructions of how to set the clock when using SPDIF.

I wanted to use the clock in the MBox 3 because I understand the A/D conversion is better in that unit, and clocking is a part of that process. But I guess when I'm recording through the MBox 3, I can just swith it back to Internal clock.

I wonder why your units work both ways and mine don't? I'm told that if you don't use an external clock source, that the SPDIF port should shut off as mine does.

Anyway, thanks to all that helped out with advice.
