Check Your Internet Connection

A weak connection can cause a black screen. Test your internet speed on your device.

2. Find “Playback” or “Decoder”.
3. Change the player from Hardware to Software (or vice versa).

No sound or bad sound? Follow these steps.

• Check Device Volume: Make sure your TV or device volume is up and not on mute.
