5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to connect your Component to HDMI Converter:

1. Power Off Devices: Ensure all devices (source, display, and converter) are powered off before making connections.
2. Connect Component Source: Connect the YPbPr (Green, Blue, Red) and R/L Audio (White, Red) cables from your source device (e.g., PS2, DVD player) to the corresponding input ports on the Portta converter. Ensure the colors match.
3. Connect HDMI Display: Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI Output port of the converter to an HDMI Input port on your display (e.g., HDTV, monitor, projector).
4. Connect Power: Connect the provided USB power cable to the USB-C Power Port on the converter, and then plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. The Power LED on the converter should illuminate.
5. Power On Devices: Power on your HDMI display first, then your component source device.
6. Select Input: On your HDMI display, select the correct HDMI input source that the converter is connected to.

6. Operation

Once properly connected and powered on, the converter operates automatically. The Signal LED will illuminate when a valid YPbPr input signal is detected.

• Ensure your source device is outputting a YPbPr signal. Some older devices might have settings to switch between Composite (AV) and Component output.
• The converter supports various resolutions up to 1080p 60Hz. The output resolution will match the input resolution; the converter does not perform scaling.
• For optimal performance, ensure your component cables are securely connected and are not excessively long (recommended length less than 1.8 meters).
