3. Setup and Connection
Connecting your CableCreation HDMI cable is a straightforward process. Ensure both devices you intend to connect are powered off before proceeding.
- Identify HDMI Ports: Locate the HDMI input port on your display device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector) and the HDMI output port on your source device (e.g., PS4/PS5, Xbox One, Blu-ray player, PC). HDMI ports are typically rectangular with a slightly wider side.
- Connect Cable: Carefully insert one end of the CableCreation HDMI cable into the HDMI output port of your source device. Ensure it is fully seated.
- Connect to Display: Insert the other end of the HDMI cable into an available HDMI input port on your display device. Note the HDMI input number (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2) for later selection.
- Power On Devices: Power on your display device first, then your source device.
- Select Input: Using your display device's remote control or on-screen menu, select the corresponding HDMI input (e.g., HDMI 1) that you connected the cable to.
The display should now show the output from your source device. If no signal is detected, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Once connected, the CableCreation HDMI cable operates automatically. It transmits both audio and video signals digitally between your source and display devices.
- Resolution and Refresh Rate: The cable supports up to 4K (3840x2160) resolution at 60Hz. Ensure your source device and display are also capable of these specifications to achieve optimal performance.
- HDR and 3D Support: If your devices support HDR or 3D content, the cable will automatically pass these signals through. Verify that HDR or 3D settings are enabled on both your source and display devices.
- Audio Passthrough: The cable supports various audio formats, including uncompressed LPCM, DTS Digital, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD Master Audio, and Dolby TrueHD. No separate audio cables are needed.
- Extended and Mirror Modes: When connecting to a computer monitor, you can configure your display settings for either "Mirror Mode" (duplicate display) or "Extended Mode" (extend desktop) as needed.

5. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your CableCreation HDMI cable, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Handle with Care: Avoid bending the cable sharply or putting excessive strain on the connectors. Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging, not the cable itself.
- Keep Clean: If the connectors become dusty, gently wipe them with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the connectors.
- Storage: When not in use, coil the cable loosely. Avoid tight coiling or kinking, which can damage the internal wires. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Overstretching: Do not stretch the cable beyond its natural length, as this can damage the internal conductors.

| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| No picture or sound | Incorrect input selected on display; Loose cable connection; Device power off; Incompatible resolution. |
