- LED Indicators: Observe the LED indicators (1, 2, 3) next to the 'Select' button. The illuminated LED corresponds to the currently active HDMI input.
5. Maintenance

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your GANA HDMI Switch, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:
- No Picture/Signal:
- Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the source devices, the switch, and the display.
- Verify that the correct input source is selected on the HDMI switch (check the LED indicator).
- 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 issues.
- Restart all connected devices (source, switch, display).
- Flickering Picture or Poor Quality:
- Check for loose cable connections.
- Ensure you are using high-quality HDMI cables.
- Reduce the cable length if possible, especially for longer runs.
- Some devices may require a specific boot order. Try powering on the display first, then the HDMI switch, then the source device.
- No Audio:
- Verify that the audio settings on your source device are correctly configured for HDMI output.
- Check the audio settings on your display device.
- Ensure the HDMI cables support audio transmission.
- Switch Not Responding:
- Ensure at least one HDMI source device is powered on and connected to provide power to the switch.
