Have you tried changing the HI/LOW level switch on the From Tape input to get a different range of levels?

Well the title sums it up. A couple of months ago i bought a poly-800 mk1 in very good condition, it worked perfectly - but then i forgot to change the batteries so it reseted into only white-noise-patches. :(

Now I'm tryning to transfer the original patches back into the synthesizer with a WAV-file from analog.no, and it does'nt work! I try adjusting the volume, but I can't find one that works. Anyone here who have done this that can share their experience? With lower volyme, the LED blinks, but it does not give me any message at the end, still displays "VRFY". At higher volumes, I get "ERROR", the higher the volume, the quicker the "ERROR". I've tried to find a sweet spot in between, but there does not seem to be any. Do you use a mono 3,5 mm cable or a stereo one? Do you have a wav-file that you know works? And what kind of software do you use to play it (I have a mac)?

:(
