Default \"External Clock choice Invalid\"

"External Clock choice Invalid"

I see this is a problem on MAC's too. What the hell is it. I just recorded from my MPC2500 to the 002r SPDIF last night, but now its a no go. even after restarts. Also does the same thing if I try to set the ADAT as the external clock.

only one answer(if you want to call it that) in the Answerbase.

DIGI will only clock to a valid external source. If nothing is hooked up to ADAT, it will not sync(same thing with SPDIF). As your SPDIF was working and now is not, my first 2 guesses are the MPC somehow got switched to external sync or your SPDIF cable went bad.
