6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HDMI switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Vanco JHIU0019 HDMI Switch, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:
- No Picture/Signal:

- Verify that the correct input is selected on the HDMI switch (check the LED indicator). Press the 'SELECT' button to cycle through inputs.
- Confirm that your display is set to the correct HDMI input channel.
- Try connecting the source device directly to the display to rule out cable or source device issues.
- Restart all connected devices (source, switch, display) by powering them off and on again.
- Flickering Picture or Poor Quality:
- Ensure you are using high-quality HDMI cables. Longer cables may require active or higher gauge cables.
- Check for interference from other electronic devices.
- Reduce the resolution of the source device if possible, to see if the issue persists.
- No Audio:
- Verify that the audio settings on your source device are correctly configured for HDMI output.
- Ensure your display's audio is not muted or set to an extremely low volume.
