5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Aspect Ratio Switching
The converter features a button to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. This allows you to preserve the original aspect ratio of older content or adapt it for widescreen displays.
- 4:3 Aspect Ratio: Ideal for classic CRT formats, retro consoles (e.g., PS1, N64), and VHS tapes. This setting prevents image stretching on widescreen TVs.
- 16:9 Aspect Ratio: Suitable for U.S. Digital Television, widescreen DVDs, and modern TVs.
Press the "4:3/16:9" button on the converter to toggle between the two aspect ratios. An indicator light will show the currently selected ratio.

6. Troubleshooting
- No Picture:
- Ensure all cables (RCA, HDMI, USB power) are securely connected.
- Verify the USB power cable is connected to a functional 5V power source.
- Check if the TV is set to the correct HDMI input channel.
- Confirm the source device (e.g., game console, DVD player) is powered on and outputting a signal.
- Some Nintendo 64 games with 240p resolution may not be supported.
- No Sound:
- Ensure the white and red RCA audio cables are correctly connected to the converter and the source device.
- Check the volume settings on your TV and source device.
- Distorted Picture / Poor Quality:
- Ensure the yellow RCA video cable is securely connected.
- The converter upscales analog signals; the output quality is dependent on the original analog signal quality.
- Try adjusting the aspect ratio switch (4:3 or 16:9) to see if it resolves distortion.
- Intermittent Signal:
- Check for loose cable connections.
- Ensure the USB power supply is stable and sufficient (5V).
