Practical help
Common problems
Check HDMI connections, ensure the Data Signal Indicator (Yellow) is illuminated, and verify the source device is active.
Check the CAT6 cable integrity. If the Link Signal Indicator (Green) is flashing, the connection is unstable.
Verify the IR Receiver and Blaster cables are plugged into the correct ports and that the remote control is within the specified angle and distance.
Before use
