MGP32X/MGP24X Owner’s Manual

Troubleshooting

* If any specific problem should persist, please contact your Yamaha dealer.



iPod/iPhone signal is not
output.



Is the output signal assignment set appropriately? (page 36)



Is the iPod indicator turned off?
The unit has not recognized your iPod/iPhone. Check which iPod/iPhone models are sup-
ported.



The supported iPod/
iPhone is not recognized.



If your iPod/iPhone has not been charged, it may take some time to be recognized by the
mixer.
Please wait.



When a stereo signal is
input, the left and right vol-
ume is different.



Is the pan knob set to the center position?
If it is located in the center, try swapping the connections. If the lesser/greater volume signals
are also switched, check the connected device(s).



Is the same type of cable used for the right and left signals?
A cable with resistance lowers the volume.



The sound level is incon-
sistent, or there is an
unnatural “pumping” in
the sound.



Are you applying the compressor at an appropriate level?
You might have to lower the COMP knob levels.



The Leveler is not enabled.



Is the GAIN knob on the stereo channels adjusted appropriately?
The leveler may not be enabled if you increase the gain too much.
