Troubleshooting

There is no display on the screen.
It has been found that there are significant differences in the cable lengths/types and even input ports which can be used on different brands of display using HDMI 18G 4K@60Hz resolutions. If problems are experienced, please apply the following steps:

  • Try a different input port on the display.
  • Reduce the cable length on the Input and Output to 1m.
  • Try a different type of 1m HDMI Cable.
  • For several HDMI devices it may be helpful to unplug and re-connect their HDMI connection to reinitiate the HDMI handshake and recognition.
  • Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the matrix, then the display and finally the source.

No Audio Output

  • If there is no audio output from the 3.5mm connection, this can be caused by using the incorrect audio format. 5.1CH and 7.1CH audio is not support via 3.5mm connection, therefore please select the 2.0 CH audio format using the IR remote or push button.

WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment), Recycling of Electronic Products.

Europe, United Kingdom
In 2006 the European Union introduced regulations (WEEE) for the collection and recycling of all waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is no longer allowable to simply throw away electrical and electronic equipment. Instead, these products must enter the recycling process.
Each individual EU member state, as well as the UK, has implemented the WEEE regulations into national law in slightly different ways. Please follow your national law when you want to dispose of any electrical or electronic products. More details can be obtained from your national WEEE recycling agency.
Battery Remark:
Do not put empty batteries in your domestic waste bin as they will not be recycled. Empty batteries can be returned for recycling at our trade counter or at your local household recycling center.
The raw materials enclosed in batteries such as Zinc, Iron and Nickel can be reused to a very large proportion. The recycling of batteries and disused/obsolete electronic equipment is one of the most efficient environment protection actions you can easily take.
