Problems ? 
The channel is routed but there is no audio. If it is 
assigned to a VCA group check that the group fader is up. 
The audio groups do not work. Check the setting of the 
fader master 1-8 GRP/AUX mode switches. 
The PAN control does not work. For main mix check the 
setting of the BLEND control. For groups check the GRP 
PAN ON switch. 
The console takes a long time to power up and displays 
UPd. Check that the rear panel slide switch is set to the MIDI 
position. 
The snapshots do not work. Check the position of the 
underpanel disable switches. 
The channel does not respond to the snapshots or MIDI. 
Check that it has not been made safe (green SAFE/EDIT 
LED on in normal console mode). 
The STORE function does not work. Hold down SHIFT 
and press the UP key to toggle store on or off.
