Hi, I bought a used 246 from musicgoround and I'm having a pretty frustrating problem with it. I'm not getting any signal from the 1st channel on the mixer (PGM? not totally sure about terminology.. sorry)
When i plug an instrument into the 1st channel input, I cannot record anything to any cassette track 1-4 from that channel. it also does not make any sound through headphones or the PGM out or anything. I can plug anything into channels 2-6 and assign it to tracks 1-4 on the tape, all of which record just fine. Using headphones, all 4 tracks will play back in monitor mode but when I switch it to PGM, only tracks 2-4 will play back from the tape through the mixer. I've triple- and quadruple-checked all the knobs and sliders on each channel and i'm about 97% positive it's not user error.
any ideas as to what the problem may be specifically? I know it has to do with just the mixer component... everything works perfectly except for recording signal from and playing back signal on channel 1. I would love to get this unit fully working because it was a steal at $135 shipped.
