MPC5000 reviews, bug reports and fellow user support on the most recent standalone, hardware MPC from Akai

I have recently purchased an Mpc 5000 and i have hit a wall straight away. I cant seem to get the pads to play any sounds from the chosen program, I know the pads work ok because i can use them in the 'trim' function. I can hear the demo track and can manually play the sounds using the f keys but can't get any sound from the pads.

I saw somebody mention changing the 'input scource' for the track but i cant see how to do that.

Any help would be appreciated, i'm tearing my hair out.

As far as I can see, the pads do have samples assigned to them, I'm using one of the in-built drum program's from the internal memory. The mpc is pre-owned so I wondered if the previous owner had changed any settings regarding the pads?

Thanks I appreciate the response.
