Connect HDMI Displays: Connect two HDMI cables (not included) from the "OUTPUT 1" and "OUTPUT 2" ports of the splitter to the HDMI input ports of your two display devices (e.g., TVs, monitors, projectors).
Optional Power Connection: If your source device does not provide sufficient power, or if you experience signal instability, connect the provided USB charging cable to the splitter's DC 5V port and then to a USB power source (e.g., a USB wall adapter, TV USB port, or PC USB port).
Power On Devices: Power on your HDMI source device and both display devices.
Select Input: Ensure your display devices are set to the correct HDMI input source.

5. Operating Instructions

Once connected, the TOPYIYI HDMI Splitter operates automatically:

The splitter will automatically duplicate the signal from your single HDMI source to both connected display devices.
The content displayed on both output screens will be identical (mirror mode).
The device is designed for plug-and-play functionality, requiring no additional software or complex configuration.
The blue indicator lights on the splitter confirm power and active connections.

6. Important Notes and Limitations

Mirror Screen Only: This HDMI splitter only mirrors the screen; it does not support extended desktop mode for PCs. Both output screens will display the exact same image.
No Audio Extraction: This splitter does not extract audio. Audio will be passed through to the HDMI displays. It cannot split audio to a soundbar independently.
Resolution Handling: If two output displays have different maximum resolutions (e.g., one 4K and one 1080p), the splitter will output to the lowest common resolution supported by both displays (e.g., both will display 1080p). If the lower-resolution display is powered off, the splitter will re-scan and output to the higher resolution for the remaining active display.
Power Requirement: While the splitter can draw power from the HDMI source, using the provided USB power cable is recommended for stable signal transmission, especially with demanding devices or longer cable runs.

7. Troubleshooting

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

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No picture on one or both displays.	Loose HDMI cable connections. Insufficient power supply to the splitter. Incorrect input selection on the display. Incompatible resolution settings.	Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected. Connect the USB power cable to the splitter and a reliable power source. Verify that your displays are set to the correct HDMI input. Try lowering the resolution on your source device. Power cycle all connected devices (source, splitter, displays).
Picture flickering or unstable signal.	Insufficient power. Long or low-quality HDMI cables. Interference.	Ensure the USB power cable is connected and providing stable power. Use shorter, high-quality HDMI cables (especially for 4K resolutions). Ensure the splitter is not near strong electromagnetic interference sources.
No audio.	Audio settings on source or display. This splitter does not support audio extraction.	Check audio output settings on your source device and input settings on your displays. Confirm that your displays have built-in speakers or are connected to an external audio system. This splitter passes audio through HDMI; it does not provide separate audio outputs.
Displays show different resolutions.	Displays have different native resolutions.	The splitter will output to the lowest common resolution. This is expected behavior. If you require a specific higher resolution, ensure both displays support it.
