Troubleshooting guide

17. I want to fast-forward into a song, but when I try to drag my finger on the progress bar, nothing
happens.
A: The scan feature (the ability to fast forward or rewind while playing a track) is a feature that is not yet
enabled in the MiND, but will be later on.
18. I am using my iPhone as the controller (as opposed to my iPad), and I have music on my phone.
Can this be streamed into the MiND?
A: Not at this time. However, later versions of the MiND app will support this feature.
19. Does the 180 MiND need to be turned off when not being used?
A: No. It is designed to be left on all the time. Power consumption is negligible, and turning it off may
also require you to reboot your router when restarting it. It is therefore best to leave it plugged in all the time.
20. Is there an Android app for the MiND?
A: It is in development, and planned for release in Q4/2013.
21. Can I mix varieties of types of music files within the same album (in other words, is there a problem
if an album’s tracks are half in, for example, FLAC, and the other half AIFF)?
A: No problem. So long as the ID-tagging is consistent, the use of different file types will be transparent
to the user. Note, however, that there are differences in sound quality between different types of music files.
However, gapless playback will not be possible when transitioning from one file type to another.
22. Can I start up the 180 MiND as soon as it is plugged in?
A: No. When you plug the power plug into it, you will notice the blue LED on the front panel flashing.
While it is flashing, this indicates the MiND is booting up. After it stops flashing, only then the unit is ready to
operate.
23. How do extract the most in terms of sonic performance from the MiND?
A: Use of the best file type for music (WAVE or lossless encoding like FLAC, and ALAC) is strongly
recommended, as well as good software to rip music and create these files. In addition, having your entire
network hardwired is necessary for playback of 24-bit/88.2, 96, 174.4 and 192kHz files. Finally, the AES/EBU
digital output of the 180 MiND provides an extremely high quality digital output signal, designed to be fed into a
balanced DAC equipped with AES/EBU digital inputs.
24. If I lose power in my home, will the MiND need to be set up all over again?
A: No. MiND retains all setting regarding the name you assign to it for the zone, and all the wi-fi
settings if you have a power loss. If you reset the unit via the rear-panel recessed switch or update the
firmware, only then will all return to factory default and you will have to repeat the initial setup process.
25. If I set up the MiND for wi-fi operation, and then another, stronger wi-fi signal appears, will it
switch over?
A: No. Once the MiND latches on to a wi-fi network, it will not wander off and look for others, even if
the signal is stronger. That is one of the benefits of having the wi-fi be setup manually – it garantees it will use
that network only even if another wi-fi one appears.
26. If I want the MiND to switch from wi-fi to Ethernet, what is the procedure?
A: Like in the previous question, MiND will not switch networks on its own. This maintains the
maximum stability in streaming over wi-fi. Now, if you want to go from wi-fi to Ethernet, perform the following
procedure:
- disconnect power from the MiND;
- plug in the Ethernet cable;
- reconnect power to the MiND.
The MiND automatically choose the wired connection while booting up.
