Troubleshooting
  • MPU does not produce sound:
    • If sharing your screen with HDMI, make sure your computer audio is set to the right output device and is not muted.
    • Turn up the volume on the MPU TV, using the buttons on the left side.
  • MPU touchscreen unit is stuck on loading screen:
    • Make sure the MPU is connected to the correct network port.
    • Unplug the MPU from power and then plug it in again.
  • Zoom call participants can't hear well/microphone volume is too low
    • Ensure the auxiliary microphone (located in the flip-up storage space below the TV in the MPU) is plugged in.
    • Move the microphone closer to the person speaking.
