check that they are wav files not mp3 files, and then check that they have the right extention WAV after the name.

I'm having the same problem. This is my second MPC 1000 and my first one didn't have this problem. I bought one of the first one-thousand MPC 1000's sold in the US. I loved it. I sold it for rent, boo hoo. I'm glad to have another one back in my life. But sad to see it having issues already. I've only had it for a week. I have emailed Akai regarding this issue. I'll post pack here if they give me a good fix.

Have you checked it out from the manual. If you have get in touch with www.akai.com and ask them. they are the manufacturer and YOU ARE THE CUSTOMER.
Good Luck

If your turntables use ceramic cartridges, you'll need to use a passive interface box that converts the unbalanced ( RCA ) plugs from the turntable to balanced ( 1/4" T-R-S ) plugs to connect to your MPC1000's stereo line inputs. If your turntables have magnetic cartridges, you will need an active phone preamp, check the music retailers catalogs or on-line there are many makes and models.
If you want to mix the two turntables ( sequeing from one to the other and back continuously as in a DJ setup ), you'll need a small DJ mixer.
Hope this helps.

• The battery is low. The EWI 5000 uses a rechargeable battery, and if the battery is low, it may not be able to power the instrument for very long. Try charging the battery or replacing it with a new one.
• The power cord is not plugged in properly. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in securely to the instrument and to the power outlet.
• The instrument is overheating. The EWI 5000 can overheat if it is used for extended periods of time. If the instrument is overheating, it will stop playing to prevent damage. Try taking a break from playing the instrument and letting it cool down.
• There is a problem with the instrument. If you have tried all of the above and the instrument is still not working, there may be a problem with the instrument itself. You may need to contact Akai customer support for help.

Here are some tips to help prevent this problem from happening in the future:

• Keep the battery charged. Make sure that the battery is always charged so that the instrument does not run out of power.
• Plug the instrument in properly. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in securely to the instrument and to the power outlet.
• Take breaks from playing. If you are playing the instrument for extended periods of time, take breaks to let it cool down.
• Have the instrument serviced regularly. If you use the instrument frequently, it is a good idea to have it serviced regularly by a qualified technician. This will help to prevent problems from occurring.

I hope this helps!

The power switch will need to be replaced. This will need to be done by a tech rather than the end user unless you are experienced in electronic repair. Take it to the shop.

You would come out of the S1100 l/r output jacks into your mixer line input jacks on 2 channels, one panned left, one panned right. Be sure to adjust the input pad on each channel to where you're getting a hot enough signal and that the channels you're inputing to are routed to the mixer's main outputs.

Hello,That's probably the drive belt inside the player, hope this helps.

If it's on ONE particular record, it may have a deep groove that the needle cannot move past. It could also be that you don't have enough pressure on the needle which you can adjust on the arm with a turn of the counter-weight (should be a knob on the other end from the needle)

normally a buzzing sound means a grounding problem, or a component has failed, unless you have the proper equipment to check these items,, your going to have to take it to a shop that does, sorry I know thats not what you wanted to hear,, but heres a hint, Ive found that a shop that deals in instruments and sound devices charges a lot, I have found a TV repair shop in my town, that can check my band equipment,, and its much cheaper, and I usually get the stuff back much quicker too

Grab the tape out leads or other mains jacks using TRS cables (balanced).

Here is a diagram of how the equipment should be connected:

The mixer is the device that interconnects your keyboard and drum machine. The receiver is just your sound output, and doesn't combine inputs, e.x. drum machine, keyboard, mic, etc.
