recording problem vs880ex

[brent]

I have a problem that comes and goes. I know its probably operator error please somebody help. I set up to make a new song,plug in input#1,hold down rec. and press status button #1. the status button at this point should blink red, but it stays green and the select button for channel #1 blinks while the display reads "assign". This problem is the stumbling block that I cant seem to get past. Why is it that sometimes it does this and other times I can do the same proceedure(page 42 owners manual) and it go into record mode without a hitch??? Somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks------ Frustrated

Can't say as I have had the exact same problem but have had everything lined up (as least I thought so) to record 3 or 4 tracks simultaneously only to find oly two of them actually recorded. Same thing as you sometimes it does - sometimes it doesn't....... Don't feel alone.....
