Zoom HD16 issue

[vetdentist]

I am a new user of the HD16. I can only get 2 of the xlr inputs to turn on at a time. When I try to turn on a 3rd input, the other 2 go off. This is not good when trying to record a quartet. Is there some setting I am missing? Vetdentist

Guys, i NEED your help....My Zoom HD 16 is Awesome!!
Here is my problem,Im trying to record this Stereo sample from my Roland SP555
onto tracks 3-4,and i changed the Input source to 3-4 for stereo.Its like a Dog Barking
with a Ping-Pong L/R Delay,when it Plays through the Zoom,with recording tracks Off,
the delay ping-pongs from right to left,but soon as i engage recording for 3-4 (red),
i lose the Stereo ping-pong!I tried panning it hard L/R,still the same thing. Its driving me batty!.......HELP!!

Im back,ALL of my samples are recorded in Stereo.......i tried them all...and realized
that NONE of the will play back in Stereo.........when engaged to record(red),
but will play back in Stereo when playing THROUGH the Zoom(green)
hmmmmmmm............something im doing wrong.........

Oooooooo-K.....well,the manual talks of selecting a stereo track,or two mono tracks,
maybee ive selected two mono tracks and dont realize it......like i said,i did change
the input source to 3-4.......i guess that didnt do the trick.....its a little confusing to me,
how do i know,if ive selected stereo or two mono tracks?

The HD16 inputs selection to Track selection works like this.

Inputs can be used in pairs. 1-2,,,3-4, 5-6, or 7 -8

They like to be assigned in pairs

1-2, 3,4, and so on or or to any of the four stereo tracks.

If you need to record more than 2 inputs at one time you must push the 8 track record buttom located by the headphone outs.

Once you do this you cannot change track assignments. inputs 1-8 go to tracks 1-8 . You can copy or bounce them over to stereo tracks only after they have been recorded.

Hope that helps.

Remember if you record a stereo input to an adjent pair of tracks EG 1 and 2 you will have to PAN track 1 and 2 to hear the stereo effect on playback.
