Troubleshooting Last updated: February 2, 2023 03:20.

If you have an encrypted Wi-Fi network, check that you have entered the correct key or passphrase. Remember that text-format keys are case-sensitive.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Last updated: February 2, 2023 03:33. Revision #8799 Can the AXN10 support MQA content? Although the AXN can receive MQA encoded content, it is not possible for the device to playback full MQA files via TIDAL Connect, because the AXN does not have an MQA decoder built in to unfold the MQA files. There are no plans to integrate MQA support into the AXN, as this would require a hardware modification to install a Full MQA Decoder.
Can I play files from a connected USB HD when the AXN10 is not connected to a network? This is not possible as the use of the StreamMagic app is required to be able to play local files from a connected USB HD. Please note that it is strongly recommended that the AXN is connected to a network at all times. What is the Service port on the back of the AXN10 for? The service port on the back of the AXN is intended for servicing use only by Cambridge Audio authorised service centres and dealers.
