TROUBLESHOOTING

Should you encounter installation diﬃculties or issues with device communication, the following checklist of common issues and causes should help resolve your issues. If you still continue to experience issues, please contact your local representative for further assistance.

Cable Not Carrying Signal

Active and Optical HDMI cables are directional. This means one end is labeled source or 1 and the other end is labeled TV or 2. The cable must be connected in the proper direction to work.
Swap cable and check if the problem persists.
If cable is faulty, please contact Pulse-Eight representative or your Installer.

Pulse-Eight recommends that you use only authorized service providers for maintenance or repair. Unauthorized use of the Product or software can impair the Product’s performance and may invalidate this Limited Warranty. Pulse-Eight does not warrant that operation of the Product will be error-free or uninterrupted or that the Product will in every case process all data correctly.
