whats wrong with my plainer??

I've got a 12" plainer and the board as it is going through it comes out
planed mre in the center of the board compared to the side, more of the
center is down than the sides, any idea what could be causing this?

I have tried to adjust the table but this has done nothing

You should check the blade to see if the blade clamp is loose or that
wood has not worked its way under the blade because the clamp is loose,
bending the blade out.

There's an article in the current issue of Wood magazine (just received
today) about setting up and tweaking planers. Maybe that would be a
good resource.

Time to get your dial indicator out and check your blades.

Are you sure that your boards aren't cupped?
