6. Troubleshooting

• No Signal / Intermittent Signal:
  • Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the source devices, the switch, and the display.

  • Try connecting the source device directly to the display to confirm the source and display are functioning correctly.
• Picture or Sound Quality Issues:
  • Ensure you are using high-quality HDMI cables, especially for 4K@60Hz content.
  • Check the resolution settings on your source device and display to ensure they are compatible and set correctly.

  • Disconnect and reconnect all HDMI cables to reset the switch.
  • Ensure all connected devices are powered on.
