Trouble Shooting: Listed below are common problems you may encounter, and solutions.
There is no power to the unit:
1.   Be sure you have connected the power cord to a correct wall outlet.
There is little or no sound:
1.   Check the input selector switch. Make sure it is set to the device that is currently playing.
2.   Check to see if the connection cables are connected properly. 
3.   Check the Trim Output level control on the rear panel, make sure it is not set to low.
The sound is distorted:
1.   Check the Trim Output level control on the rear panel, make sure it is not set to high.
2.   Make sure that the Gain level control is not set to high.
Crossfader is not working:
1.   Check and see if any channels have been assigned to the crossfader.
Effects are not working:
1.   Check to see if the effects have been activated. Activate them by pressing the “FX ON” button. 
2.   Make sure a channel has been selected in which to apply effects to.
3.   Make sure that the effect parameter is not set to the minimum.
4.   Make sure that the Wet/Dry Dial is not turned all the way counter-clockwise. 
Cannot measure BPM, or measured BPMs seem incorrect:
1.   Sometimes the BPM cannot be measured, depending on the music. If this happens, you will  
      have to set the BPM manually, by using the TAP button (62). See TAP button (62) on page 16.
