The LED lights on the front of the panel indicate which source is active.

Frequently Asked Questions

No (or poor) image and sound

If you experience poor or no image after connecting the HDMI switcher, try to recover the problem by connecting the devices one at the time to your screen (TV, monitor or projector). This way you can determine whether the problem lies with the HDMI sources, the HDMI cables, the HDMI switcher or the screen. HDMI devices which are not tested and certified by ATC (Authorized Test Centers) can cause image and sound problems.

• Check if the power adaptor of the Connect420 is connected and plugged into the mains.
• Only use High Speed HDMI® certified cables for the best picture and sound quality.
• Do not use HDMI cables that are longer than specified in the technical data.
• Both the HDMI source and your screen have to support HDMI fully.
• Check whether your HDMI sources, DVI device and screen support the copy protection HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).

No proper 3D picture

• Check whether the HDMI source has been set to 3D and/or that this is set to automatic.
• Both the HDMI source as well as the HD screen must support the same 3D formats.
• Check whether the proper 3D picture is reproduced by directly connecting the HDMI source to the screen with an HDMI cable.
