Troubleshooting

• No Display:
  • Solution: Ensure all cables are securely connected. Verify the correct input source is selected on your display. Check your device's display settings.

• 4K Resolution Not Working:
  • Solution: Ensure both the content you are playing and your display device natively support 4K x 2K resolution.
• Multiple Displays Not Working Simultaneously:
  • Note: This adapter supports only one output at a time. Disconnect other display cables if you are trying to use multiple outputs.
