I got a service manual but don't know how to get it to you. I can sent it by email. Let me hear from you. Contact: [email protected] (subject: "Manual")
The manual is for Alesis HR-16B SRV comes in PDF format.

yes, it should light up when you turn it on. Make sure you have the right adaptor. The voltage & polarity will be wreitten on the unit. My adaptor is from Alesis. You can find these on ebay.

When you plug in the headphones it cuts the sound to the speakers. Unplug headphones (they are probably broken if you can't hear them). Make sure you are using stereo plugs.

try adjusting contrast, and try a different lighting source. If you have a polarized light source currently, try orienting it 90 degrees from where it is. That type of LCD relies on reflected lighting and it uses polarizing filters, so you may be at maximum contrast, but the current lighting is being absorbed by those polarized filters. Plus LED lighting, if not the right light frequency too- it gets absorbed. I have a clock in front of me that is exactly that way

What is the source of the input signals? These need to be balanced lines and the sources need to be balanced. If you happen to be using condenser mics, you probably haven't turned on the Phantom Power in the mixer. If you are recording from a sound card in the PC, those have a lot of noise and are unbalanced and you have to use DI's with ground lift ahead of this mixer.

You have to reduce the gain control for the input that clips (keeps the red peak iluminated). I suppose that the audio device that you connect at this input is connected at the line input (6,3mm jack) if it's a line level one, or at mic input (XLR 3 pin connector) if it's a microphone level one. You can clarify the gain controls from this picture:


In case of a problem or clarification or further details needed, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.
If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

Come from the main outputs, probably labeled L/mono and R and connect those to your mixer for your audio system on either stereo mix input OR two two inputs that are panned opposite.. DO NOT connect this to a consumer type stereo system as you may blow the speakers or amp. Consumer stuff just isn't able to take output from music equipment such as this UNLESS the volume is kept very low.

I think your best solution is this> You can add 10 more triggers with it:http://www.alesis.com/triggerio

Are you talking about recording the beats from the Alesis or are you talking about designing beats on your computer to load into the Alesis? If it's the latter, try this link:http://www.squest.com/Windows/Instruments/AlesisSR-16/index.html This link might also be useful:http://www.synthzone.com/alesis.htm Please let me know how you make out.
