Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your HDMI switch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

|---|---|---|
| No video/audio output | Loose HDMI connections; insufficient power; incorrect input selected. | Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected. Verify input devices are powered on. Manually select the correct input using the 'Select' button or remote. If LED is off, ensure enough input devices are powered to supply power. |
| Flickering screen or poor picture quality | Long or low-quality HDMI cables; resolution incompatibility. | Use high-quality HDMI 2.0 cables, especially for 4K@60Hz. For optimal performance at 4K@60Hz, avoid HDMI cables longer than 10 feet (3 meters). Ensure your display and source devices support the selected resolution. |
| Remote control not working | No batteries; dead batteries; IR receiver blocked. | Insert 2 AAA batteries into the remote. Replace old batteries. Ensure the IR receiver on the switch is not obstructed and is within line of sight of the remote. |
