Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console, computer) and your display device (e.g., TV, monitor) are powered off.
- Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output port on your source device.
- Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to an available HDMI input port on your display device.
- Power on your source device, followed by your display device.
- Use your display device's remote or on-screen menu to select the correct HDMI input source.
Compatibility:
This cable is rated 'High Speed with Ethernet' and is compatible with devices featuring HDMI ports. It supports up to 4K resolution at 60Hz and HDR. Modern TVs typically use HDMI 2.0 connections, which are fully supported by this cable. The cable's functionality is determined by its build quality and its ability to carry the necessary data signals, not by specific HDMI version labels on the cable itself. It is backward compatible with older HDMI standards but will only perform at the highest capability supported by all connected devices.
Care:
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
- Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. If necessary, use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently clean the gold-plated connectors.
- Do not expose the cable to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
- When unplugging, grasp the connector firmly and pull straight out; avoid yanking the cable itself.
