3. Setup

Follow these steps to properly connect your digital video cable:

1. Identify Ports: Locate the HDMI output port on your source device (e.g., computer, Blu-ray player) and the DVI-D input port on your display device (e.g., monitor, projector).
2. Connect HDMI: Carefully insert the HDMI connector of the P566-006 cable into the HDMI output port of your source device. Ensure it is firmly seated.
3. Connect DVI-D: Insert the DVI-D connector of the P566-006 cable into the DVI-D input port of your display device. Tighten the thumbscrews on the DVI-D connector, if present, to secure the connection.
4. Power On Devices: Turn on both your source device and your display device.
5. Select Input: On your display device, select the correct input source (e.g., DVI, PC input) using the display's menu or input selection button.

Note: This cable transmits video signals only. For audio, a separate audio cable connection is required.

4. Operating

Once the cable is properly connected and devices are powered on, the video signal from your source device should automatically display on your connected screen. If no image appears or the image quality is poor, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

• Ensure both devices are set to compatible resolutions.
• Avoid bending the cable sharply, as this can damage internal wires and affect signal integrity.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your TRIPP LITE P566-006 cable:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the cable and connectors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, store the cable in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling the cable to prevent stress on the internal conductors.
• Handling: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your digital video cable, try the following solutions:

• No Video Signal:
  • Verify that both ends of the cable are securely connected to their respective ports.
  • Ensure both the source device and the display device are powered on.
  • Check that the correct input source is selected on your display device.
  • Test the cable with another known working device or try a different cable to isolate the problem.
• Poor Picture Quality (Flickering, Distortion):
  • Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked.
  • Check for any interference from other electronic devices.
  • Verify that the resolution and refresh rate settings on your source device are compatible with your display.
