7 TROUBLE-SHOOTING 1. Best results are usually achieved when the source and display resolutions are the same. If resolutions differ, the extenders will try to adjust the signal to match the resolution of the HD TV with the lowest resolution. This will result in a picture with a lower resolution on the other HD TV sets. 2. If you do not get audio and video see if you can use the set-up menu on the TV to adjust the audio settings and the video settings. If the HDMI control circuit can t establish a hand-shake, then there usually will be no audio or video and a blue or black screen with a statement like this protocol not supported or weak signal. 3. If you get the above messages, re-set the Receiver by disconnecting the power supply. Alternately, you can disconnect all of the HDMI and power cables, wait 10 or 15 minutes for any voltages to decay and then connect all of the cables from the source, to the Receiver and to the display. 4. If you still have trouble, then try the hot-plug concept. Turn-on the source and plug the HDMI cable to it and then power-up the Transmitter and plug the cable into it, then plug the output cable into the Receiver and finally turn-on the display and plug the HDMII cable from the Receiver into it. This activates all of the devices in order and results into a signal being plugged-in to a device that is on and will try to connect to the signal. 5. Most of the major player and display manufacturers employ a proprietary control channel to communicate between devices from the same manufacturer. Sometimes this can interfere with the HDMI control circuit or the authentication of the signal. Call the manufacturer if you experience this problem. Sometimes a player, an audio/video receiver, or a cable/satellite box may not have the latest software update and needs to have this downloaded from the manufacturer s web site.
