Troubleshooting
Operation problems can be due to a variety of causes. The first step in solving them is to make sure that all cables are securely attached and seated completely in their sockets.
| Problem Resolution | |
| The Power LED does not light up. | Check that the power adapters of the Transmitter / Receiver are properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. |
| No video shows on the HDMI display. | ◆ Check that the cables from the input source devices to the Transmitter are correct and properly attached.◆ Ensure that the display is set to receive HDMI signals.◆ Verify the status ofPowerLED, as follows:◆PowerLED blinking (green):– Check that the distance between the Transmitter and Receiver does not exceed 100 feet.– Move the Transmitter closer to the Receiver.◆PowerLED lights solid + Source LED blinking slowly (green)– Ensure that the video resolution and frame rate selected are supported. SeeVideo and Audio Format Supported, page 29 for more details.– Connect the source device to your display to check the video format compatibility.– Check if the video resolution on your HDMI display is set to 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 576p, or 480p resolution. Refer toVideo and Audio Format Supported, page 29.◆PowerLED lights solid + Source LED blinking quickly (green)– Check that the cables from the input source devices to the Transmitter are correct and properly attached.– Ensure your input source devices are powered on.– Check that proper cable is connected between the Receiver and the HMDI display device. |
| Poor picture quality or intermittent video | ◆ Check if the video resolution on your HDMI display is set to 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 576p, or 480p resolution. Refer to Video and Audio Format Supported, page 29.◆ Check that the distance between the Transmitter and Receiver does not exceed 100 feet.◆ Solid structures (walls, panels, beams) between the Transmitter and Receiver can affect signal quality. Consider installing the units with the least amount of barriers between them. |
| No audio | ◆ Check your display's volume is not set to Mute.◆ Check your input source device's audio volume has been enabled. Adjust the volume accordingly.◆ Ensure the bit rate of audio from the source device is supported (refer to page 29). |
| IR Remote Control cannot control input source device. | ◆ Check where is IR sensor is located on the input source device. Make sure that the IR Blaster Extender Sensor is close aligned to the input source device's IR sensor.◆ Change the IR Blaster Extender frequency to meet the input source device's requirement. See IR Blaster Extender Cable Setup, page 13. |
| No 3D video output | ◆ Check that the connected HDMI displays on the Transmitter and Receiver can support 3D video format.◆ Turn off 2D HDTV mode on your HDMI display (that supports 3D video format) and reboot the display. Set the input source device to 3D video format output for the 3D display.◆ Check the video output setting of the input source device (ex. Blu-ray Disc, PS3..etc.) supports 3D video format.◆ Ensure the 3D format timing from the input source device is supported (refer to page 29). |
