two digitallish questions.

[Rob]

FWIW, in DVD, they have Macrovision which messes up the sync signal by
tricking a VCRs automatic tracking sensing, but, of course, if you have a
VCR with manual tracking, it defeats it, or if you have a sync regenerator
before the recorder.

I *wonder* if they don't do something similiar with the digital output?
Perhaps put in extra words that get thrown out during normal playback and do
not affect the D/A conversion, but show up raw on the spdif out and screw up
the spdif receiever?

It seems altogether possible.
