The Edirol V-4 is finally starting to drift downward in price, so I nabbed one to replace my V-1. I love it, but it has a weird issue where it requires a few minutes of warmup time. The behavior is very consistent, I turn it on and everything is basically static, that slowly turns into what looks like normal video with a sync problem and weird color on the left channel. Then I reboot the mixer and it works perfectly, for hours and hours.
Anybody else every have this issue? I haven't opened it up or anything, but my only working theory is that there's some kind of capacitor powering the processing board(s) and it's fucked up so it's charging slowly and it takes awhile for the voltage to ramp up. Anybody every opened one of these suckers up?
