FAQs

What is the maximum resolution this cable supports?

This cable is HDMI 1.4 compliant and fully supports 1080p resolution. It also supports 2160p (4K) resolution, though performance at 4K may vary and is dependent on the capabilities of your source device and display.

Can I use this cable with an HDMI switch or splitter?

No, this cable is specifically designed for direct connection between a single source device and a single display. It is not intended for use with HDMI switches or selectors and may not function correctly in such setups.

What does 'Audio Return Channel (ARC)' mean?

ARC allows audio to travel from your TV back to your soundbar or AV receiver using the same HDMI cable that sends video to the TV. This simplifies wiring by eliminating the need for a separate audio cable.

Is this cable suitable for 3D viewing?

Yes, the cable is HDMI 1.4 compatible and supports 3D video transmission, provided both your source device and your 3D television are capable of displaying 3D content.

How do I clean the connectors?

Gently wipe the gold-plated connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive materials, as this could damage the connectors or the plating.

What is the benefit of gold-plated connectors?

Gold plating provides excellent conductivity and resists corrosion, ensuring a more stable signal transfer and a longer lifespan for the cable compared to non-plated connectors.

What does HDMI Ethernet Channel do?

HDMI Ethernet Channel allows devices connected via HDMI to share an internet connection. This feature is supported by HDMI 1.4 and can reduce the number of cables needed for network-connected devices, though its practical use varies by device.

Troubleshooting

No image or sound is displayed

Ensure both devices are powered on. Verify the correct HDMI input is selected on the display. Check that both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports on the source and display. Try a different HDMI port on the display. Test with another known working HDMI cable.

Intermittent signal loss or flickering screen

Check for loose connections at both ends. Ensure the cable is not bent sharply or damaged. Try connecting directly to the TV without any intermediary devices (like soundbars or switches, if previously used). Clean the gold-plated connectors gently with a dry cloth.

3D or ARC features are not working

Confirm that both your source device and your display explicitly support 3D or ARC respectively, and that the feature is enabled in their settings menus. Ensure you are using a direct connection, as switches or splitters may interfere with these advanced signals.

Poor video or audio quality (e.g., pixelation, static)

This cable is designed for 1080p. While it supports 4K, performance may vary. Ensure the source resolution is set appropriately for the cable's capabilities and your display. Check that the gold-plated connectors are clean and making good contact. Ensure the cable is not being used with a switch or selector, which is not supported.
