Laying off 1280x720p / 8 channels of audio (ch 1 - 6 Surround tracks L, C, R, Ls, Rs, LFE...ch 7 and 8 are a stereo mix) to an HDCAM SR deck. I am upconverting to 1080i through my Kona3. I couldn't get the Edit to Tape to lay off all 8 channels of audio (even though all 8 channels show as ON / ACTIVE) until I dumped my preferences first...every time I launched the program or changed something. That sounds like a bug to me.
