Troubleshooting

No Signal / Poor Picture Quality:

• Verify that the correct input is selected on the HDMI switch and on your display device.
• Try using different HDMI cables, as faulty cables can cause signal issues.
• Ensure the switch is receiving adequate power. If an external power adapter is used, ensure it is properly connected.
• Test the source device by connecting it directly to the display device to rule out issues with the source or display.

Remote Control Not Working:
