Troubleshooting
No video signal on the display

Audio issues (no sound, distorted sound)
Confirm that the audio source is correctly connected and configured. Check if the selected audio input is active. Verify the volume levels through the Web GUI or control interface. Ensure the audio format (LPCM) is supported by the display.
Remote control not working
Ensure the IR receiver on the switch is not obstructed. Check the batteries in the remote control. Confirm that IR control is enabled in the device settings.
HDBaseT extension not working or poor signal quality
Use a certified Category 6a or higher Ethernet cable. Ensure the cable length does not exceed 70 meters. Check for any kinks or damage in the Ethernet cable. Power cycle both the switch and the receiver.
Web GUI inaccessible
Confirm the switch is connected to the network via its RJ-45 port. Ensure your PC is on the same network subnet. Verify the IP address of the switch and try accessing it directly. Check firewall settings on your PC.
