- Navigate to the SONIX portal, e.g., portal.sonix4k.shop.
- Log in with your subscription details.

Optimizing Playback for 4K
- Set the TV’s picture mode to HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color (if you use an external streaming box).
- In the app, choose the highest available video quality or set it to Auto for adaptive streaming.
- Close other bandwidth‑heavy apps on the TV (e.g., gaming or large downloads).
- If you notice occasional pixelation, manually lower the quality to 1080p or 720p.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
No Signal or Black Screen
- Verify the TV is connected to the internet – try playing a YouTube video.
- Double‑check your login credentials; a simple typo is the most frequent cause.
- Restart both the TV and your router to clear temporary network glitches.
Buffering or Stuttering
- Run a speed test on the TV (Settings → Network). You need at least 10 Mbps for smooth 4K.
- If possible, connect the TV via Ethernet for a more stable connection.
- Lower the streaming quality in the app to 1080p or 720p to reduce bandwidth demand.
- Disable any VPN or proxy that might be adding latency.
App Crashes or Freezes
- Check for TV firmware updates (Settings → All Settings → General → About This TV) and install any available update.
- Delete the app, clear the TV’s cache, then reinstall the latest version from the Content Store.
- Ensure the TV has at least 2 GB of free internal storage for the app’s cache.
