A message from Gary Hanna, Managing Partner of Mixhits Radio

 

 

Here are some basic troubleshooting ideas for your MixHits Player:

  • Is the iSTREAM connecting back? We suggest you press MENU twice then follow the directions on the screen to force a connectback. Then check in the portal to see if it connected. If you don’t have access to the portal you can check the connect back status using our mobile friendly tech site http://tech.mixhits.com. You will need to enter the serial number of the player. The serial number can be found on the bottom of the iSTREAM or by scrolling through the MENU. If the iSTREAM is not connecting back you are likely having internet issues and will need to resolve the issue before you can continue.

  • Assuming the device is connecting, check for the ‘spinny stick’ in the lower left corner of the screen. Newer firmware will have a B (buffering) or S (streaming) in the lower corner. This will verify that the iStream hardware can connect to the stream.

  • Your final check is to listen through the monitor speaker. Press MENU until the screen says “Monitor Speaker Source = Off”. Press the up arrow to turn the monitor speaker to Source = A. This will allow you to determine if the player is streaming audio to the output. If you can hear music from the monitor speaker, the player is working and the issue is with the speakers, wiring or amplification (or a combination).
