7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your KAGO 4K HDMI Splitter, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No signal on display(s) | Loose HDMI cables, incorrect input selection on TV, power issue. | Check all HDMI cable connections. Ensure the TV input is set to the correct HDMI port. Verify the splitter is powered on and the power indicator is lit. Try a different HDMI cable. |
