Andre,
Thanks for the reply.  I was using my PC soundcard (Soundscape 
Mixtreme) as clock source for both TMD-1000s via TDIF.  One TMD-1000 
is set to SPDIF digital input for the channels used by the XL7.
I tried changing the TMD-1000 so that clock source is coming from the 
digital in from the XL7 and then set the Mixtreme so that it was 
receiving it's input from the TMD1000 via TDIF.  I connected both 
mixers together with SPDIF and set one to slave clock from the other 
(normally I have both slaved to the mixtreme via TDIF).  This setup 
caused lots of problems.  I got lots of digital input errors on both 
mixers and when I record in Cubase I get nothing but noise.  Is there 
any way to set the XL7 so that it syncs to SPDIF clock?  Maybe I 
should just forget this whole mess and go with analog inputs!!!
