2. For HDMI Devices: Connect your HDMI source device (e.g., laptop, PS5) to the HDMI Input port on the converter using an HDMI cable.

4.2 Connecting to a Display

1. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI Output port on the converter to the HDMI input on your HDTV, monitor, or projector.

4.3 Connecting Audio Output (Optional)

1. 3.5mm Audio: For analog audio, connect headphones or an amplifier to the 3.5mm Audio Output port.
2. Coaxial Audio: For digital audio, connect a coaxial cable from the Coaxial Output port to a compatible digital audio receiver.

4.4 Powering the Device

1. Connect the provided USB power cable to the DC 5V port on the converter.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the 5V DC power adapter and then into a power outlet. The Power LED will illuminate.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Switching Input Sources

Press the SCART/HD Switch Button on the converter to toggle between the SCART input and the HDMI input. The active input source will be displayed on your connected screen if supported by your display.

5.2 Adjusting Output Resolution

Press the 720P/1080P Button to switch the HDMI output resolution between 720p and 1080p. Select the resolution that best suits your display and content.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Signal or Black Screen:
  • Ensure all cables (power, input, output) are securely connected.
  • Verify the power adapter is functioning and the Power LED on the converter is illuminated.
  • Check that your display is set to the correct HDMI input channel.
  • Try pressing the SCART/HD Switch Button to ensure the correct input source is selected.
  • Experiment with the 720P/1080P Button to cycle through output resolutions, as your display might not support certain modes (e.g., 1024x768 or 800x600 if not standard).
  • For SCART input, ensure the correct PAL/NTSC format is selected using the PAL/NTSC Button.
• Poor Picture Quality / Blurry Image:
  • Ensure you are using high-quality cables.
  • For SCART input, confirm that the source device is outputting the best possible signal (e.g., RGB if available, rather than composite). The converter processes the signal it receives.
  • Note that while the converter upscales, the quality of the original analog SCART signal significantly impacts the final HDMI output.
• No Audio Output:
  • Check all audio cable connections (3.5mm, Coaxial, or HDMI audio to display).
  • Ensure your audio receiving device (headphones, amplifier, TV) is powered on and set to the correct input.
  • Verify volume levels on both the source device and the receiving audio device.
• Compatibility Note: This product is not compatible with the Amiga 1200. Additionally, some older game consoles that output 240p/288p modes may be interpreted as 480i/576i by the converter, which can result in a different visual experience than expected (e.g., lack of distinct scanlines).
