Q - I've connected everything, but I can't hear anything out of the mixer through the heaphones.
A - 1) Do you have your headphones plugged in, turned up, and switched to monitor the right channel?
A - 2) Is the switch between LINE and PHONO set to the right one?
A - 3) Is the mixer on?
A - 4) Have you plugged the input device (CD/Turntable) into the channel you expect to hear it from? Check all the other channels to see if you can hear it in one of them, if it's in the wrong one, then plug it into the right one!
Q - Everything is playing fine through the mixer, but I can't hear it through the amp.
A - 1) Is the amp turned on, volume up, and switched to the correct mode?
A - 2) Are the speakers connected to the AMP? (stick a pair of headphones into the amp, see if you can hear it then).
A - 3) Have you used the correct inputs of the AMP, and the correct outputs of the mixer?
A - 4) Is the MASTER control on the mixer turned up?
Q - Why is everything distorting badly when using my CD players?
A - 1) Check the inputs of your CD players into the mixer. Make sure you've put it into the LINE input. It will distort badly if you accidentally put it into the PHONO inputs.
Q - Why is everything really quiet when using my turntables, even when everything is turned up to maximum?
A - 1) Check to make sure you've plugged your turntables into the PHONO input. If you've put them into the LINE input, they'll be very very quiet.
Q - Everything sounds nice through the mixer, but distorts through the amp.
A - 1) Have you turned up the input level on the AMP too high? Turn it down a bit, see if that helps.
A - 2) How strong a level are you pumping out of the mixer? (Try not to put it above +5dB)
A - 3) Check to see if you've plugged into the PHONO inputs by accident (Change it to the LINE IN inputs)
