• 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.
• Nuk ka audio:
  • Kontrolloni cilësimet e audios në pajisjen burimore dhe ekranin.
  • Ensure HDMI cables are fully seated.
• Telekomanda nuk funksionon:
