Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HDMI cable, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Signal / Black Screen:
  • Ensure both ends of the HDMI cable are securely plugged into their respective ports.
  • Verify that your display device is set to the correct HDMI input source.
  • Try connecting the cable to different HDMI ports on both your source and display devices.
  • Test the cable with another known working source or display to isolate the issue.
• Poor Picture Quality / Flickering:
  • Check that the cable is not bent or kinked excessively, which can damage internal wires.
  • Ensure your source device's output resolution matches your display's capabilities.
  • Reduce the resolution or refresh rate settings on your source device to see if the issue resolves.
  • Verify that the cable is not near strong electromagnetic interference sources.
• No Audio:
  • Confirm that the audio settings on both your source device and display are correctly configured to output/receive audio via HDMI.
  • If using ARC/eARC, ensure both devices support the feature and it is enabled in their settings.
  • Check the volume levels on all connected devices.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TNP Right Angle HDMI Cable, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Handle with Care: Avoid pulling the cable by the cord itself; always grasp the connector when plugging or unplugging.
• Avoid Sharp Bends: Do not bend the cable at sharp angles, especially near the connectors, as this can damage the internal wiring.
• Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the cable and connectors with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the connectors.
