Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This cable features a unidirectional architecture. It is crucial to connect the cable in the correct direction. Look for the connector labeled "TV" or the display-side connector and attach it to your display device. The other end, typically labeled "Source," should connect to your HDMI source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, computer, gaming console).
Compatibility:
- Compatible with all HDMI 1.4b devices.
- Supports 3D, Audio Return Channel (ARC), and HDMI Ethernet Channel.
- Works with 1080p resolutions up to 120Hz and 4K resolutions up to 30Hz.
- Compatible with Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and 5.1/7.1 uncompressed digital audio.
- Universally compatible with HDMI-enabled monitors, projectors, TVs, and computers.
Care:
To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Cleaning Connectors: Periodically, gently clean the gold-plated HDMI connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dusty or tarnished. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.
- Cable Management: Avoid tightly coiling, kinking, or putting excessive stress on the cable, especially near the connectors. Use cable ties loosely if bundling is necessary.
- Environment: Keep the cable away from extreme temperatures, moisture, and direct sunlight. Ensure adequate ventilation if the cable is run through enclosed spaces, especially if it's in-wall.
