Reply to "DMX Operator 192-Erratic Joystick"

Well, all I can say at this point is that I am confused and lost. The manual says, "The units will be shipped preset in 16 channel increments from the factory". I am going to be working with a total of 6 Accuspot 250 II fixtures, but I only have 3 currently in my posession (the other 3 are on the way). I have each fixture programmed like so (I want individual control of each fixture):

Fixture 1: A001 (Normal Pan/Tilt)
Fixture 2: A017 (Inverted Pan/Tilt)
Fixture 3: A033 (Normal Pan/Tilt)

When joystick is used, fixture 1 will only pan from side to side, but it will not tilt up/down. However, it does pan/tilt with the channel faders. When joystick is used on fixture 2 will tilt up/down, but it will not pan side to side. It does respond to the channel faders though. Fixture 3 will not respond to joystick movement. Instead, it changes colors with joystick movement. Fixture 3 does respond to channel faders. Yes, I programmed them properly as the manual states "PH-XX and TH-XX" and as for the inverted fixture, I also made sure I was in "reverse mode".

Then I literally placed the fixtures in different order and re-addressed them like so:

Fixture 1: A001 (Normal pan/tilt setting on all)
Fixture 2: A001
Fixture 3: A017

No change, exact same problems.

Then I did this:

Fixture 1: A001 (Normal pan/tilt setting on all)
Fixture 2: A001
Fixture 3: A001

This time, all the lights did respond to the joystick, but they still would not tilt up/down. They'd only tilt up/down when I used the channel fader. All fixtures were in 8 channel mode, then I re-did everything in 9 channel mode, and it still doing the same thing. It's very frustrating, and it's stressing me out because I'll need to worry about 6 lights this weekend.

Each time I'd re-address the fixtures, I'd reset the whole joystick assignments on the 192. I'd go to into program mode, and it was empty, but it would still move the last fixture(s) that was progammed there prior to deleting. It always does that only on the fixture button 1. And yes, I'd switch the 192 off, press and hold the Auto/Del & Mode buttons, and then switched the 192 back on as I held the buttons down. Am I doing something wrong here, or is it possible that I may have a fault 192? It was a labeled as a return by the online store where I bought it from.
