4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to connect your HDMI source device to a DVI display:

1. Identify Ports: Locate the HDMI output port on your source device (e.g., computer, game console, media player) and the DVI-D input port on your display (e.g., monitor, projector).
2. Connect Adapter to Display: Plug the DVI-D Dual Link male connector of the IOGEAR GHDMIFDVIMW6 adapter directly into the DVI-D input port on your display device. Ensure a secure connection.
3. Connect HDMI Cable: Take a standard HDMI cable (not included) and plug one end into the HDMI output of your source device.
4. Connect HDMI Cable to Adapter: Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI female port on the IOGEAR GHDMIFDVIMW6 adapter.
5. Power On Devices: Ensure both your source device and display device are powered on.

The connection is now complete.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the physical connection is established as described in the Setup section:

1. Select Input: On your DVI display, use its menu or input selection button to choose the correct DVI input source.
2. Adjust Resolution: If the image does not appear correctly or is distorted, adjust the display resolution settings on your source device to match the native resolution of your DVI display. Refer to your source device's operating manual for instructions on changing display settings.
3. Audio: Note that DVI connections transmit video signals only. For audio, a separate audio cable connection from your source device to an audio system or speakers will be required.

6. Maintenance

The IOGEAR GHDMIFDVIMW6 adapter requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the adapter if it becomes dusty. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the adapter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Handling: Avoid bending or twisting the adapter excessively, as this can damage the internal wiring or connectors.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Video Signal:
  • Ensure all connections (HDMI cable, adapter, DVI cable if applicable) are secure and fully seated.
  • Verify that both the source device and the display are powered on.
  • Confirm that the correct DVI input is selected on your display.
  • Test with a different HDMI cable or DVI display if possible to rule out faulty components.
• Distorted or Incorrect Resolution:
  • Adjust the display resolution settings on your source device. DVI displays often have a native resolution that provides the best picture quality.
  • Ensure your source device's graphics driver is up to date.
• No Audio:
  • This adapter transmits video only. For audio, a separate audio connection is required from your source device to an audio system.
