Troubleshooting
No picture or sound.
Check that all cables are securely connected. Verify that the AC adapter is properly connected and providing power. Make sure your TV is set to the correct HDMI input.
Poor video quality.
Ensure that the source device is set to the highest possible output resolution. The video quality is limited by the source's SCART output, so this adapter cannot improve the original signal. Check the SCART cable for damage.
