4.2. Important Connection Notes

This converter supports YPbPr component to HDMI ONLY. It does not support HDMI to YPbPr conversion and cannot be used in reverse.
The input signal must be YPbPr (5-RCA) and not composite video (3-RCA).
For optimal performance, ensure the resolution settings on your source device match the supported resolutions of your HDMI display.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No video/audio output	Incorrect cable connection. No power to the converter. Incorrect input selected on TV. Source device not outputting YPbPr. Resolution mismatch.	Verify all YPbPr and R/L cables are connected to the correct color-coded ports. Ensure the 5V power adapter is securely connected and the power indicator light is on. Switch your TV to the correct HDMI input channel. Confirm your source device is set to output YPbPr component video, not composite video. Adjust the resolution of your source device to match a resolution supported by both the converter and your display (e.g., 720p, 1080i, 1080p).
Flickering or distorted image	Loose cable connections. Incompatible resolution. Faulty cables.	Check and re-secure all YPbPr, R/L, and HDMI cable connections. Ensure the source device's output resolution is compatible with the converter and display. Try replacing the YPbPr or HDMI cables.
No audio, but video is present	Incorrect R/L audio connection. Audio settings on source/TV.	Ensure the red and white R/L audio cables are correctly connected to the converter. Check audio output settings on your source device and audio input settings on your TV.

If the problem persists after trying these steps, please contact NEWCARE customer support for further assistance.
