Troubleshooting
No Signal or Flickering Screen
- Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the source devices, the switch, and the display.
- Verify that the HDMI cable used meets the required specifications for your desired resolution (e.g., a high-speed HDMI 2.0 cable is recommended for 4K@60Hz).
- Try connecting the source device directly to the display to rule out issues with the HDMI cable or the source device itself.
- Some devices may require a specific boot order. Try powering on the display first, then the HDMI switch, and finally the source device.
Audio Issues
- Check the audio settings on your source device and display to ensure the correct audio output is selected.
- Ensure your audio system or soundbar supports the pass-through audio formats (e.g., Dolby Atmos/DTS) if you are using them.
Incompatible Devices
