UNTIL I BEGIN SAMPLING DRUMS INTO THIS UNIT. WHEN I PLAY BACK A SAMPLE, ALL I HEAR IS WEIRD DISTORTION ON PLAY BACK (SOUND LIKE A SCI FI WRAP SOUND FROM STAR TREK , MY LEVEL GAIN IS ON LOW, I EVEN SWITCH IT TO MID & HIGH BUT SAME OLE SHIT...COULD THE ISSUE BE A FUSE IS BLOWN FROM THIS UNIT HAVE ANYBODY ELSE HAD A ISSUE LIKE THIS!!!! PLEASE HELP BEFORE I LOSE MY MIND, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT BACK!!!!!

Maybe that's why it was in there for $250

No but all jokes aside, that is an absolute bargain no matter what condition its in! I am sure you will able to fix it relatively cheap, if you can find out exactly whats gone wrong

have you tried the digital input?

no i haven't, how do i set that up?

manual. p.148

The recording source is the rear panel digital
input. This input can be connected to any 44.1kHz digital
SP/DIF source such as a CD or DAT tapes recorded at
44.1kHz, but 48 kHz sources are not supported.

You will need a CD player, audio interface, or DAT (at 44.1kHz) with S/PDIF out.
