6. Riešenie problémov

• Žiadny obraz/signál:
  • Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the source, the switch, and the display.
  • Verify the HDMI Switch Splitter is receiving power. Check the power LED indicator.
  • Confirm the correct input source is selected on the HDMI Switch Splitter (via button or remote).
  • Try connecting the HDMI source directly to the display to rule out cable or source issues.
  • Reštartujte všetky pripojené zariadenia (zdroj, prepínač, displej).
• Poor Picture Quality/Flickering:
  • Use high-quality HDMI 2.0 or higher cables, especially for 4K@60Hz signals.
  • Ensure HDMI cable lengths are within recommended limits for your resolution (see Specifications section). Longer cables may require active HDMI cables.
  • Verify that your source and display devices support the desired resolution and refresh rate.
  • Ensure the HDMI Switch Splitter is receiving adequate power. If using high-bandwidth signals, ensure a dedicated 5V power adapter is used.
• Žiadny zvuk:
  • Check audio settings on your source device and display.
  • Ensure HDMI cables are fully seated.
• Nefunguje diaľkové ovládanie:
  • Uistite sa, že diaľkový ovládač má funkčné batérie.
  • Point the remote directly at the IR receiver window on the HDMI Switch Splitter.
  • Odstráňte všetky prekážky medzi diaľkovým ovládačom a zariadením.
• Displays Show Different Resolutions:
  • The device supports EDID for automatic scaling. If one display supports 4K@60Hz and the other only 1080P, the 1080P display will automatically downscale. This is normal operation.
