Go to the lighting board, and ensure that these settings are correct: Blackout is set to ''OFF'' and you should see no red light The Master fader (on far right) is turned ''UP'' Ensure the board's ''MODE'' is set to ''24 x 24'' On the lower row, turn channel ''ALL'' up, or to desired brightness [[Still not working?]] [[Lighting]] [[Home]]

Turn the Master Level fader ''down'' to desired brightness Note: Not working? Make sure the board is in ''24 x 24'' mode [[Lighting]] [[Home]]

On the lower row, turn channel ''ALL'' up, or to desired brightness Turn the Master Level fader ''up'' to desired brightness Note: Not working? Make sure the board is in ''24 x 24'' mode [[Lighting]] [[Home]]

Turn the ''Master Level'' fader up to ''full'' On the top row, turn up the desired lights Note: Not working? Make sure the board is in ''24 x 24'' mode [[Lighting]] [[Home]]

Make sure the 3-Pin DMX cable is plugged into the back of the Lighting Board Try turning up the top row of faders on the board that are lit up Make sure that Crossfader X and Y are both at 10, respectively The three faders should make a V formation [[Lighting]] [[Home]]

First check your Master Faders (yellow) labeled L & R. These should be between -10db and 0db Next, check that you are getting signal to your desired channel. It should flash a green signal light, and a 0db flicker when it playing/singing loudly. If there signal is too faint, ''turn the fader down'' and then bring the gain (red knob at top of channel) up until the signal is healthy. Then raise the fader volume up to a good level Note: Do not let the channels show a yellow +5db signal light, this is ''too loud'' and the gain should be decreased. [[Audio]] [[Home]]
