Troubleshooting

No signal on the display

Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the switch and the connected devices. Verify that the correct HDMI input is selected on the switch. Check that the power adapter is connected and the LED indicator is on. Test with a different HDMI cable or display.

Video or audio interruptions

Check the HDMI cable quality and length; ensure they meet HDMI 2.0 standards. Reduce the number of devices in the signal chain if possible. Ensure the source device resolution is supported by the switch and display.

Remote control not working

Ensure the remote has battery power. Check for any obstructions between the remote and the IR receiver on the switch. Ensure you are within the effective range of the RF remote.

Switch does not automatically switch to the active source

Verify that the auto-switching feature is enabled (refer to manual if applicable). Ensure the source device is sending a signal when powered on. Try unplugging and replugging the power adapter to reset the unit.

Poor picture quality (e.g., artifacts, incorrect colors)

Confirm the source device output resolution and refresh rate are within the supported specifications (4K@60Hz, 18Gbps). Ensure HDR settings are correctly configured on both the source and display.
