SETTING UP YOUR HDMI SPLITTER 1 Connect one end of a high-speed HDMI cable (not included) to your video source and the other end to the INPUT port on the HDMI splitter. 2 Connect one end of another high-speed HDMI cable to your HDMI splitter’s OUTPUT1 port, then connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the IN port of a destination component, such as an AV receiver, projector, or HDTV. 3 Connect one end of another high-speed HDMI cable to your HDMI splitter’s OUTPUT2 port, then connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the IN port of another destination component, such as an AV receiver, projector, or HDTV. 4 Connect the included AC adapter to the Micro USB jack on the HDMI splitter and a standard 120V AC outlet. The LED indicator lights white. Turn on all connected devices and operate. It is not necessary to unplug the unit. You can leave it plugged in.

(continued) No video and/or audio Device powers on/off or switches input unexpectedly Problems connecting your PC/Laptop to a TV Symptom Possible solution Check for a confirmation indicator in the top left or right corner of the screen. If you do not see this, or you see a message stating that either you need to connect the HDR source to an HDR-compatible TV or the incoming signal has been downgraded to 1080p due to the lack of proper HDR detection, check the following: • Use High-Speed HDMI cables (18 Gbps speed recommended). • Make sure that all components involved are HDR compatible. • Go into your source component's video resolution output settings and, if necessary, change the resolution output setting to 4K (sometimes labeled 4K/2K) and see if that corrects the problem. • Make sure your TV/Video Projector’s firmware is up to date. • If none of the above work, contact tech support for your TV/video projector. In some cases, HDCP 2.2 protection will have compatibility errors when using a splitter. The splitter will request a 1080p signal from the source component to allow a picture to be displayed. HDR issues (4K UHD TVs) Video resolution showing as 1080p, even when 4K signal selected Symptom Possible solution *CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is a feature of HDMI designed to allow users to command and control multiple devices connected via HDMI using a single remote control. CEC also lets individual CEC-enabled devices command and control each other without user input. TROUBLESHOOTING
