FAQs

We recently purchased a FineTune subscription, but are unable to get it to work. The station/song data shows up, but no sound.

Check that physically that the Streaming Output 2 of the server is connected to the correct input of the Amplifier. If it is try a different cable. If you are still not getting any audio output try connecting the Finetune output to a different source input on the Amp.

Stream 1 (streaming radio stations) is working fine. When I attempt to connect to FineTune the station list appears, but then I get the following error message:

Error loading Finetune playlist
Unable to connect to Finetune service.
If this problem persists, check your network connection

FineTune Profiles have not been added to the server. Go to www.finetune.com and click on the green star at the top left for register. Your user name will be your profile name. In the web server go to Settings -> Finetune and enter the profile name you created and select submit. Now try accessing FineTune on the panels.
