How do I know if my devices will work with this cable?

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Verify that both the source and display devices are powered on and set to the correct input/output. Try a different HDMI port on your display. Confirm that both devices support the resolution and refresh rate being attempted.

Intermittent signal loss or flickering screen

Check the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the cable is not routed too close to sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Try a different, shorter cable if possible to rule out cable issues. Update the firmware on your source and display devices.

Lower resolution or refresh rate than expected

Confirm that your source device is configured to output the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure your display device is capable of receiving and displaying these settings. Verify that the cable is functioning correctly and supports the required bandwidth (48Gbps).

Audio issues (no sound, poor quality)

Ensure eARC or ARC is enabled in the settings of both your TV and audio device (soundbar, receiver). Check that your audio device supports the specific audio format (e.g., Dolby Atmos, DTS:X). Verify the cable's connection is secure.
