Before Configuring Display Screen
Depending on the date of purchase, your Xhibit hardware may display a different system configuration user interface.

Before you start configuring your display rotation, it is important to note a few things.
- You will need to attach a USB mouse and keyboard to your device. If the content appears on your screen, press CTRL + W to close your digital signage application. Next, you will need to click on the “Gear” icon in the top right corner of your screen. And then, click “System Settings” to access your player’s settings.
- If the digital signage application reopens after you have opened the settings window, you can hit ALT+TAB and it will bring it back to the foreground. It is important not to adjust any of the options in your settings menu unless under the explicit direction of a member of the Mvix Digital Signage support staff. In other words, making unauthorized adjustments to player options can disrupt your playback or even void your warranty.
