O-kay....I need some help.

I'm using a Spektrum DX6i, And no matter what I do I can't get the MG, Cannon/recoil or Light's to work off of the trim settings.
I'm kinda kicking myself for not using/getting another radio. I know that the DX6i trims are different. Is there a work around, or should I swap radios?
My DX5 works fine with my full option Tamiya Tiger 1....
