3. Setup
Connecting your Concord HDMI 2.0 cable is a straightforward process. Ensure all devices are powered off before making connections.
- Identify Ports: Locate the HDMI output port on your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, game console, computer) and the HDMI input port on your display device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector).
- Connect Source: Gently insert one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI output port of your source device. Ensure it is fully seated.
- Connect Display: Gently insert the other end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI input port of your display device. Ensure it is fully seated.
- Power On: Power on your display device first, then your source device.
- Select Input: On your display device, select the correct HDMI input source using your remote control or on-screen menu.
The cable is designed for plug-and-play functionality and does not require additional drivers or software.
4. Operating
Once connected, the Concord HDMI 2.0 cable facilitates the transmission of high-definition audio and video signals. No specific operation is required for the cable itself beyond proper connection.
- Signal Transmission: The cable will automatically transmit audio and video signals between your connected devices.
- Ethernet Channel: If both connected devices support HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC), the cable will enable network data sharing without a separate Ethernet cable.
- Audio Return Channel (ARC): If both devices support ARC, audio from your TV can be sent back to an audio receiver or soundbar via the same HDMI cable.
Refer to your source and display device manuals for specific settings related to HDMI input, resolution, audio output, and advanced features like HDR or HEC.
5. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your HDMI cable and ensure consistent performance.
- Handling: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable. Avoid pulling directly on the cable itself, as this can damage internal wires or the connector.
- Storage: When not in use, coil the cable loosely. Avoid tight bends or kinks, especially near the connectors.
- Cleaning: If connectors appear dusty, gently wipe them with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Environment: Keep the cable away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and excessive moisture.
