Device Settings Failed in the "Google Home" App

Cause and Solution

If the "Google Home" app displays a "Fail/Error" message during device setup, this may be due to network conditions or other factors. Even if the "Google Home" app displays an error, the setup might still be successful. Follow the steps below to confirm and resolve the issue:

Possible Causes:

• Network Conditions: Poor Wi-Fi connectivity or interruptions during the setup process can cause errors in the "Google Home" app.
• Device Recognition: The Technics unit may still be successfully connected but not immediately visible in the app.

Solutions:

• Confirm Device Availability:

  Check whether the Technics unit is visible in the list of available devices on Google Cast-enabled apps:

  1. Open a Google Cast-enabled app (e.g., a music streaming app).
  2. Look for the Technics unit in the list of devices available for casting.

  If the Technics unit appears in the list, you can use Google Cast-enabled apps without further setup.

• Check Network Connection:

  Ensure your Technics unit and the mobile device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If network conditions are poor, try the following:

  1. Restart your Wi-Fi router.
  2. Ensure the signal strength is strong near the Technics unit.
  3. Reconnect the unit using the "Google Home" app.
• Restart the Setup Process:

  If the unit is not visible in the Google Cast-enabled apps, restart the setup process in the "Google Home" app:

  1. Open the "Google Home" app.
  2. Remove the Technics unit from the app if it appears.
  3. Re-add the device by following the setup instructions.

Additional Notes:

If you continue to experience issues, refer to the Operating manual for your specific Technics model for detailed guidance on network setup and troubleshooting.

By ensuring proper setup and addressing potential network or app-related issues, you can successfully connect your Technics unit and enjoy seamless functionality with Google Cast-enabled apps.
