I recently acquired a 464 and was disappointed to discover that track 4 isn't working properly. I'll be taking it to a reputable tech soon but thought I'd check in with this community to see if I can help him narrow things down. Here are the clues:
The fader and all pots for Channel 4 work perfectly. I can hear sound clearly when a mic is plugged into the XLR input.
When I record in Direct mode to track 4, no signal registers on track 4's meter during both recording or playback.
However – when I record in L-R mode to track 4 (with the mic plugged into channel 4) signal does register on track 4's meter, both while recording AND during playback. However, no sound is heard on playback.
Same result when recording to track 4 in L-R mode from channels 1-3.
When playing back old tapes of recordings I made on a 424 years ago, the signal again shows on track 4's meter but no sound is heard.
Sometimes (only sometimes) after recording on track 4 in L-R mode, with channel 4's fader cranked all the way up, I think I can hear a tiny bit of recorded signal. Incredibly faint and only sometimes.
I experimented with sending the direct out for track 4 into the input of channel 5/6 to see if I could get signal, but no luck.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
