8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your HDMI switch, please refer to the following common solutions:
- No Display / Black Screen / No Signal:
- Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected.
- Verify that the input source device is turned on.
- Try connecting the input device directly to the display to check its functionality.
- If using 4K@60Hz, ensure HDMI cables are ≤1.5m (4.9ft).
- For some devices, ensure at least two or all three source devices are powered on to provide sufficient power to the switch.
- Lower the resolution of the input source.
- Resolution Lower Than Expected:
- Ensure your HDMI cables meet the resolution requirements (e.g., HDMI 2.0 for 4K@60Hz).
- Use shorter HDMI cables, especially for 4K@60Hz.
- Ensure adequate power supply by turning on multiple input devices if necessary.
- Flickering Image:
- Reconnect all cables securely.
- Ensure adequate power supply by turning on multiple input devices if necessary.
- Try a shorter HDMI cable.
- Lower the resolution or color sampling rate of the input source.
- Screen Suddenly Goes Black:
- Check the switch's indicator light to confirm you haven't accidentally switched to an unconnected HDMI source.
- Ensure the active input device is still powered on and sending a signal.
- Delay in Displaying Image (e.g., on PS5): This delay is typically due to EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) recognition. It is normal behavior.
