Troubleshooting
No picture or intermittent signal
Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both devices. Try a different HDMI port on your display. Verify that both source and display devices support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Test with a shorter or different HDMI cable to rule out a faulty cable.
Poor video quality (e.g., pixelation, color issues)
Check that the HDMI version supported by both devices is at least 2.0 for 4K@60Hz. Ensure the cable is not damaged and connections are clean. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate in the source device's settings to see if the issue resolves.
Audio not working or out of sync
If using ARC, ensure ARC is enabled on both the TV and the connected audio device (soundbar/receiver) and that they are connected to the correct HDMI ports. Check audio settings on the source device and display. Try a different HDMI cable.
Device not recognized or 'no signal' message
Confirm that the correct input source is selected on the display. Ensure the source device is outputting a signal. A full power cycle of both devices (unplugging from power for 60 seconds) can sometimes resolve handshake issues.
