6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DXchip Wireless HDMI Transmitter and Receiver, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• No Video or Image on Screen:
  • Ensure both the Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) units are properly connected and powered.
  • Verify that your display device is set to the correct HDMI input source.
  • On a Windows PC, press Windows key + P and select 'Duplicate' or 'Extend' mode.
• No Audio Transmission:
  • Check if your PC or source device's audio is muted.
  • Confirm that your monitor or TV supports audio playback via HDMI.
• Freezing, Stuck, or Disconnection Issues:
  • If the computer has low power or the current to the HDMI input is insufficient, the power light on the transmitter may be weak or off. In such cases, connect a 5V/1A power adapter (not included) to a wall socket to provide external power to both the Transmitter and Receiver units.
  • Ensure there are no significant obstacles between the Transmitter and Receiver units that could interfere with the wireless signal.
  • Try re-pairing the units manually. (Specific re-pairing steps are typically provided in a video or separate guide; if issues persist, consult the manufacturer's support).
• Shortened Transmission Distance:
  • The stated transmission distance of 98ft/30m is for an open field without obstacles. Walls, floors, and other structures will shorten the effective transmission range.
• Latency with Gaming Consoles:
  • Due to a slight inherent delay in wireless video transmission, this extender is not recommended for connecting to gaming consoles where low latency is critical for competitive gameplay.
