7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HDMI switch, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Signal / Screen Goes Black:
  • Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the source devices, the switch, and the display.
  • Verify that the USB power cable is connected and providing power to the switch. A red LED on the switch indicates power.
  • Check if the selected input on the switch matches the active source device.
  • Try using shorter, high-quality HDMI 1.4 (or above) cables. Input cables should ideally be no longer than 5 meters, and output cables no longer than 10 meters to prevent signal degradation, especially at 4K resolutions.
  • Test the source device directly connected to the display to rule out issues with the source or display.
• Automatic Switching Issues:
  • The switch is designed to automatically switch to a new source when it detects a signal. If you experience unwanted auto-switching, ensure only one source device is active at a time, or manually select your desired input.
  • Some devices, even in standby, might send a low-level signal that triggers auto-switching. Power off unused devices completely if this occurs.
• Remote Control Not Working:
  • Ensure the remote control has working batteries.
  • Check for any obstructions between the remote and the IR receiver on the switch.
  • Point the remote directly at the IR receiver on the switch.

8. Maintenance

To maintain your MT-VIKI HDMI Switch in good condition:

• Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Keep the device free from dust and debris.
• Store the switch in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
