Output Problem

[The Katonas]

Hey I'm new at this game (obviously) and I've just been doing home demo recordings of my band with a few tidbits of hardware. My friend today gave me an old Yamaha DMP7 mixer since he had no other use for it.

It's a pretty ancient piece of kit to say the least by the look of it and I don't know a great deal about it, but I have hopes of using it for live demos and drum recording, etc.

Problem is it seems to have an very predominant feedback-like sound over anything that goes in. I can get the intended input sound out of it, it just has this squealing that's setting my teeth on edge.

Checked all the cables and it seems to be generated by the blasted contraption itself.

Any ideas or help would be much appreciated chaps.

Cheers!

See if you can do a factory default reset. I'm not sure because I'm not familiar with your device, but it sounds like it may be a feedback loop in the routing of the device (a send feeding a return that is feeding the same send, for example)

cheers.

That's brilliant! Cheers!

Because it didn't say anything in the PDF manual I initially assumed there was no factory reset, then I thought to check on the Yamaha website after you said that and it had the key combination.

Thanks again lads! Expect many many, more inane questions from me in the future.

Glad it worked!
