Troubleshooting
No image displayed on the output screen.
Verify that all HDMI cables are securely connected to the correct ports on the switch, display, and source devices. Ensure the power adapter is connected and the switch is powered on. Check that the correct input source is selected on the switch and that the display is set to the appropriate HDMI input.
Video or audio quality is poor (e.g., flickering, dropouts, no sound).
Ensure you are using high-quality HDMI cables that are rated for 18Gbps bandwidth to support 4K@60Hz HDR. Try replacing the cables. Confirm that the source device and display support the selected resolution and refresh rate.
Auto-switching is not working as expected.
Make sure the auto-switching feature is enabled via the remote or button functionality if applicable. Verify that only one source device is actively sending a signal when auto-switching is intended to occur. Some devices may not signal their active status correctly.
Remote control is not functioning.
Ensure the remote control has a clear line of sight to the switch's IR receiver (if applicable) or is within range of the RF receiver. Check or replace the battery in the remote control. Make sure the switch is powered on.
HDCP error message appears.
Ensure that both your display and all connected source devices support HDCP 2.2. If any device in the chain does not support HDCP 2.2, you may need to bypass the switch or use a lower resolution/content protection level if available.
