Appendix A: Service Information
If you think your 1202VLZ4 has a problem, please
check out the following troubleshooting tips and do
your best to confirm the problem. Visit the Support
section of our website (www.720trees.com) where
you will find lots of useful information such as FAQs
and other documentation. You may find the answer
to the problem without having to send your mixer away.
Troubleshooting
Bad Channel
• Is the mute/alt 3–4 switch in the correct
position?
• Is the level knob turned up?
• Try unplugging any insert devices (channels
1–4 only).
• Try the same source signal in another channel,
set up exactly like the suspect channel.
Bad Output
• Is the associated level knob (if any) turned up?
• If it’s one of the main outs, try unplugging all
the others. For example, if it’s the 1⁄4" left main
out, unplug the RCA and XLR Left outputs. If
the problem goes away, its not the mixer.
• If it’s a stereo pair, try switching them around.
For example, if a left output is presumed dead,
switch the left and right cords, at the mixer
end. If the problem switches sides, it’s not the
mixer.
Noise
• Turn the channel level and aux return knobs
down, one by one. If the sound disappears, it’s
either that channel or whatever is plugged
into it, so unplug whatever that is. If the noise
disappears, it’s from your whatever.
Power
• Unplug the power cord and check the fuse.
